Our drawing of this handsome flowering plant, was 
taken from a fine specimen sent to us from the collection 
of Messrs. Chandler, of the Vauxhall Nursery, Wands¬ 
worth Road; where it was raised from seed: it is of 
hybrid origin, and is somewhat related to P. Youngii 
and P. Jenkinsoni , but what its real parents were, we 
have not ascertained; it is certainly a very desirable 
plant, as it forms a handsome upright bush, and produ¬ 
ces an abundance of its lively flowers, continuing in 
bloom most part of the Summer, succeeding well in 
any rich light soil, and is readily increased by cuttings, 
which, if planted in pots in a young state, and placed on 
a shelf in the Greenhouse, will soon strike root.
