double the size of the others, very unequal sided, of a 
pale salmon colour,veined with darker veins ; in the cen¬ 
tre is a dark velvetty spot, below which are numerous 
dark lines, more or less branched : lower petals oblongly 
obovate, slightly crenulate, of a pale flesh colour, very 
much veined with darker veins. Filaments 10, connected 
at the base, 7bearing perfect anthers: pollen dark orange- 
coloured. Style purple, nearly smooth, or bearing only 
two or three hairs. Stigmas 5, dark purple, the points 
more or less reflexed. 
The present plant is a hybrid production, and was 
raised at the Nursery of Mr. Dennis, from a seed of P. 
malachrcefolium, which, as we are informed by M. J. 
Robinson, was sown by him, in the month of August, 
1828, so that it soon produced its flowers, having been 
in bloom a good part of the Summer, and continued till 
late in Autumn; its other parent was doubtless one of 
the sorts related to P. macranthon, as it is intermediate 
between the two subdivisions; it appears to be of free 
growth, and an abundant flowerer, and thrives well in 
a rich light soil; and young cuttings, planted in pots in 
the same sort of soil, will soon strike root.
