a little at the points. Filaments 10, connected at the 
base, 7 bearing anthers: pollen orange-coloured. Style 
pale lilac, hairy about half way up, the upper part 
smooth. Stigmas 5 , dark purple, spreading, the points 
reflexed. 
The present plant is also of hybrid origin, and was 
raised from seed at the Nursery of Mr. Dennis, at 
Chelsea; it belongs to the same tribe as P. macranthon 
and P. Belladonna , and has most probably originated 
from one nearly related to those that had been fertilized 
by one of the P. cucullatum tribe; it is of free growth, 
an abundant bloomer, and thrives in any rich light soil; 
it is also a very hardy sort, requiring only protection 
from frost, and a good supply of water when in a free 
growing state; it will then continue in bloom all the 
Summer, and till late in Autumn; young cuttings, 
planted in pots, or under hand-glasses, will soon strike 
root.
