Our drawing of this handsome plant was made in 
June last, at the Garden of the late Earl of Liverpool, 
at Coombe-wood, where it was raised from seed by 
Mr. W. Smith; it is of hybrid origin, and appears to 
be intermediate between P .tricolor or some nearly re¬ 
lated plant, and probably Campylia laciniata, but we 
cannot speak to its origin with certainty. 
We are sorry to see the present interesting tribe so 
much neglected now in collections, to give way for the 
different strong growing sorts of Pelargonia , particularly 
as they make such a pretty variety when grown amongst 
the dwarfer sorts, and are so very distinct in their habit 
and character ; they may also be grown very freely, if 
potted in a light sandy soil, nothing suiting them better 
than an equal mixture of light turfy loam,peat, and sand, 
or decayed vegetable mould, draining the pots well that 
the we t may pass off readily ; and young cuttings,planted 
in pots in the same sort of soil, and placed in the Green¬ 
house, will soon strike root.
