Style purple, hairy at the base, the upper part smooth. 
Stigmas 5, dark purple, reflexed or revolute at the points. 
Our drawing of the present very distinct and hand¬ 
some flowering plant, was taken from a specimen sent 
us by Mr. F. Coaker, from his Nursery at Upway, near 
Weymouth, who informs us that it was raised from seed 
by Miss Jane Yeatman, of Dorchester, in compliment 
to whom we have named it; the seed was procured from 
a plant known by Gardeners, and in Mr. Davey’s priced 
Catalogue, by the name of Maria Isabella , but what its 
other parent was is not known. It is certainly a very 
magnificent plant, when covered with its rich-coloured 
flowers, which are so very different from most others; 
this makes it the more desirable. Mr. Coaker informs 
us that it is not a very early bloomer in Spring, but that 
its flowers are produced in abundance all through the 
Summer, and till late in Autumn, and makes a hand¬ 
some bushy plant; he is now selling fine plants of it at 
one guinea each. 
Sir R. C. Hoare, one of the first cultivators of Gera- 
niacese, informs us, that he has procured a plant of it, 
and considers it the best in his collection; it succeeds 
well in any rich light soil, or a mixture of light turfy 
loam and peat will suit it well; it may also be consi¬ 
dered as one of the hardy sorts, requiring nothing but 
the protection from frost in Winter, at which season it 
should not be over watered. Young cuttings, planted in 
pots, and placed on a shelf in the Greenhouse, will 
strike root readily.
