the centre, below which are a few short lines of the same 
colour. Filaments 10, connected at the base, 7 bearing 
anthers. Pollen deep orange-coloured. Style very hairy 
about half its length, the upper part smooth, pale flesh- 
coloured. Stigmas 5, purple, reflexed, or revolute at 
the points. 
Our drawing of this neat, delicate flowering species, 
was taken from a plant sent us from the Nursery of Mr. 
Dennis, who informs us that it was first raised from seed 
in the collection of Sir R. C. Hoare, at Stourton, Wilts: 
what its original parents were is not now to be ascer¬ 
tained, but it belongs to the small-leaved division of the 
genus, many of which, by their bushy habit, and abun¬ 
dant flowering, are better worth growing on the lower 
shelves or front of the Greenhouse, than so many of the 
large, strong-growing sorts; the variety in the colour of 
their flowers also, in our opinion, tends to give a better 
effect, than to see so many so nearly alike in colour; 
some amateurs now growing scarcely any others, than 
the various red ones. 
The present plant thrives well in any rich light soil, 
and if properly managed will continue to produce an 
abundance of flowers all the Summer: young cuttings, 
planted in pots, and placed on a shelf in theGreenhouse, 
will soon strike root.
