segments very long, lanceolate, tapering to a long slen¬ 
der point, villous, more or less tinged with brown or 
purple at the base. Nectariferous tube scarcely half the 
length of the calyx, flattened on each side. Petals obo- 
vate: the two upper ones rather broadest, unequal to¬ 
wards the base, of a light blush, with a bright purple 
spot in the centre, and numerous purple lines from the 
base, that branch all over the petals: lower petals lighter, 
also marked with several purple lines from the base, 
which extend about half way up. Filaments 10, con¬ 
nected at the base, 7 bearing anthers, which are often 
imperfect. Style purple, quite smooth all its length. 
Stigmas 5, very long, bright purple, reflexed at the 
points. 
The present plant is also of hybrid origin, and was 
raised from seed in the collection of J. Fasset Burnett, 
Esq., of May Place, Kent; and from a plant sent us 
by the kindness of Miss Burnett, last month, the pre¬ 
sent drawing was made. Mr. Brient, the gardener, in¬ 
forms us, that there are several other very distinct and 
curious sorts raised in the same collection, the merit of 
which is entirely due to the above Lady; the present 
subject is of strong growth, and a very abundant bloomer, 
the flowers being produced in a sort of panicle; those 
are very handsomely striped and variegated, and make 
a striking appearance in a strong plant covered with 
flowers; its numerous nerved, fan-shaped leaves also 
give it a singular appearance. We cannot determine 
what were its real parents, but it is related to P. inca- 
nescens on one side, and to the P. cucullatum tribe on the 
other; a rich light soil suits it best; and cuttings, 
planted in pots, and placed in a shady part of the Green¬ 
house, will soon strike root.
