Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Paxton's Magazine of Botany, and Register of Flowering Plants, Vol. 7
One of the principal circumstances for which this plant will be prized, is the opportunity it will afford for uniting the rich colours of the species which have their ?owers arranged in ?at heads, with the lengthy spicate disposition of the blossoms by which it is peculiarly characterized. This must be effected by cross-impregna tion, and is an object worthy of the culturist's assiduous attention. Common propagation is performed in the usual manner by cuttings or layers.
The specific designation is that by which this plant is known in the Horti cultural Society's Garden, and expresses its particularly interesting aspect.
