Från 1822, framtagen av Mr. Colvill från ett frö av P. gibbosum pollinerad av P. saepeflorens. Mycket succulent. Blommar under sensommarn till hösten. P. saepeflorens är en korsning av P. reniforme och P. echinatum eller P. armatum också framtagen av Mr. Colvill. P. armatum är också odlad av Mr. Colvill, ganska lik P echinatum men med lila blommor som P. echinatum "Mrs. Stapleton".

Sweet:
"The present handsome and very curious plant is a hybrid production, and was raised from seed in the collection of R. H. Jenkinson, Esq. ; its parents are P. gihbosum and P. lobatum, and it is, as near as possible, intermediate between them ; its flowers are exquisitely fragrant, their fragrance beginning about five or six o'clock in the evening, and continuing till about nine the next morning ; it appears to be a very free grower, and flowers nearly all the summer and till late in the autumn; like others of the succulent and tuberous-rooted tribe, it requires but little water, and the best soil for it is an equal mixture of turfy loam, peat, and sand. Cuttings of it strike root freely ; it may also be increased by the little tubers of the roots." |
