lines : lower ones also obovate, but narrower, and of a 
paler colour, inclining to a rosy lilac. Filaments 10, 
connected at the base, 7 bearing perfect anthers. Style 
bright red, thinly hairy about half way up. Stigmas 5, 
long and slender, of a purplish red, spreading, and 
recurved at the points. 
The present handsome plant is of hybrid origin, 
and was produced from seed, at the Nursery of Mrs. 
More, in the King’s Road, Chelsea, where our drawing 
was made the beginning of April; it is intermediate 
between one of the smooth-leaved tribe, and one of the 
red-flowered sorts, and being of strong growth and an 
abundant bloomer, will make it a very desirable plant, 
particularly as it comes in bloom early in Spring: it 
succeeds well in any rich light soil; and young cut¬ 
tings, planted in pots, and placed on a shelf in the 
Greenhouse, will root readily.
