others, very unequal-sided, attenuated to the base, of an 
orangy scarlet , with a smallish velvetty brown spot a little 
above" the centre, and a white stripe from it to the base, 
below the spot are a few dark lines, branched a little ; 
lower petals obovate, much attenuated to the base, pale 
blush, stained with red, and marked with from 5 to 7 
faint veins from the base. Filaments 10, connected at the 
base, 7 bearing anthers, which in the plants that we have 
seen have all been sterile. Style bright purple, bearing 
a few hairs near the base. Stigmas 5, dark purple, the 
points more or less revolute. 
This very handsome plant is of hybrid origin, and 
was raised from seed by Mr. J. Young, Nurseryman, at 
Taunton ; it is without doubt intermediate between two 
tribes; having as much affinity with P. pinguifolium and 
others of that tribe, as with the true Pelargonia; and we 
have no doubt but it is the produce of one of the large 
dark red sorts, with V. pinguifolium or P. scut atum , but 
cannot speak with certainty to the direct individuals 
from which it has been produced; it is at any rate the 
first production that we have seen between these two 
tribes, which we have often tried to intermix without 
success; this has also been the case with Ciconium ; 
we have never seen a hybrid between any of the species 
with Pelargonium, though the experiment has been 
often made. 
others; but with proper management it can be made to 
succeed very well, as we saw it at the Nursery of Mr. 
Dennis, where our drawing was made last Summer; it 
is a very abundant bloomer, continuing in flower all the 
Summer: a mixture of light turfy loam, peat, and sand, 
is the best soil to grow it in, with the pots well drained 
with potsherds, that the wet may pass off readily, as 
being of a succulent habit, it will be liable to rot with 
continued moisture; it will also require a warm Green¬ 
house to keep it in good health in Winter: young cut¬ 
tings, planted in pots in the same sort of soil, in Spring or 
Summer, and placed on a shelf in the Greenhouse, will 
strike root readily. 
As the difference between the two parents of the pre- 
t plant is so great, it is not so free of growth as some
