branched : lower petals oblong, pale blush, strongly 
veined underneath. Filaments 10, connected at the base, 
7 bearing anthers. Style purple, quite smooth its whole 
length. Stigmas 5, dark purple, fimbriate, reflexed or 
re volute at the points. 
The present pretty plant is of hybrid origin, and 
was raised from seed in the choice collection of L. 
Weltje, Esq. of Hammersmith, where our drawing was 
made last Summer; we do not know from what parents 
it has originated, but most probably from some whose 
parents were muled for several generations. It is a 
handsome free growing plant, and an abundant bloomer, 
continuing to flower the greater part of the Summer; 
succeeding well in any rich light soil; and young cut¬ 
tings, planted in pots in Spring or Summer, and placed 
on a shelf in the Greenhouse, will strike root readily.
