an inch and a half broad at the extremity, and of a roundish oblong 
form, with the edges slightly divided. The centre petals are much 
shorter than those at the circumference of the flower, and rise upright, 
like the centre petals of the War at ah. They are, however, not so 
numerous, nor so regularly arranged. All of them are uneven, a little 
cut at the edges, and faintly marked with dark-coloured veins. When 
the flower is fully expanded, it has a very fine appearance, resembling 
that of a large double red Hollyhock, on which account we think it 
has been very appropriately named.
