stained with blood-colour, and a large dark velvetty 
patch in the centre, between which and the base are a 
few short dark lines, the upper ones branched. Fi'la¬ 
ments 10, connected at the base, 7 bearing anthers. 
Pollen deep orange-coloured. Style pale purple, thickly 
clothed with hairs all its length. Stigmas 5, bright pur¬ 
ple, the points reflexed or revolute. 
For the opportunity afforded us of giving a figure of 
this pretty plant, we are obliged to Mrs. Kenrick, of 
Broome, Dorking, who sent us a plant in full bloom 
last June, and in whose collection it was raised from 
seed, that was produced between P. graveolens and 
P .floccosum; the habit and foliage of the plant is pre¬ 
cisely that of the former parent, and the flower is alto¬ 
gether that of the latter, but rather smaller: it forms a 
neat little bushy plant, and produces a great number 
of flowers, though not many on each umbel; but from 
its very distinct habit, it may be considered a very de¬ 
sirable plant to grow amongst the smaller growing 
sorts; its foliage has also a very delightful scent, which 
still makes it of more value; and it may be considered 
as one of the hardiest sorts, succeeding well in a com¬ 
mon Greenhouse or warm room. 
We have named the present plant, in compliment 
to the Lady in whose collection it was raised; it suc¬ 
ceeds well in a mixture of turfy loam, peat, and sand; 
and young cuttings, without doubt, will root readily, 
if planted in pots in the same sort of soil, and placed 
in a shady part of the Greenhouse.
