vetty purple spot in the centre, betwixt which and the 
base are several dark lines, a little branched : lower 
petals oblong, rounded at the points, three-nerved 
underneath, of a bright lilac. Filaments 10, connected 
at the base, 7 bearing anthers, that are in general im¬ 
perfect. Style of a reddish purple, slightly hairy towards 
the base, the upper part smooth. Stigmas 5, dark purple, 
reflexed or slightly re volute at the points. 
The present pretty plant is also a hybrid production, 
and was raised from seed in the collection of L.Weltje, 
Esq. of Hammersmith, who named it in compliment to 
Miss Annesley, of Bletchington, Oxford, a Lady much 
attached to this handsome tribe of plants : we cannot 
speak with certainty as to its parents, but it is inter¬ 
mediate between one of the divided-leaved, light-flower¬ 
ing sorts, and most probably one of the rounder-leaved 
red-flowering ones : it is of free growth, an abundant 
bloomer, and will continue to flower in succession all 
the Summer, thriving well in a rich light soil; and cut¬ 
tings, planted in pots, and placed in a sheltered situation, 
will strike root freely.
