reflexed when in bloom; upper one rather broadest. 
Nectariferous tube about the length of the calyx, flat¬ 
tened on both sides, and gibbous at the base, very hairy. 
Petals 5, of a bright lightish purple; the two upper ones 
largest, obovate, unequal sided, slightly stained with red 
near the centre, marked below with white, from which 
branch a few short dark stripes : lower petals oblong, 
slightly crenulated at the ends. Filaments 10, con¬ 
nected at the base, 7 bearing anthers : 'pollen of a deep 
orange colour. Style purple, quite smooth all its length. 
Stigmas 5, spreading, dark purple, reflexed or revolute 
at the points. 
The present handsome plant is a hybrid production, 
and was raised from seed in the choice collection of 
L. Weltje, Esq. at Hammersmith; but what its’parents 
were is not easily to be ascertained; it is of strong free 
growth, and an abundant bloomer, producing a great 
number of its many-flowered umbels, which expand in 
succession, the greater part of the Spring and Summer; 
thriving well in any rich light soil; and cuttings, plant¬ 
ed in pots, and placed on a shelf in the Greenhouse, 
will strike root without any difficulty.
