florescence is likewise larger and whiter, the branches green 

 rigid and roughly furred ; and the foliage more distant. 



Introduced in 1778 from the Canaries by Mr. Masson, 

 who found it growing in mountainous situations. The 

 drawing was taken in March last, at the nursery of Messrs. 

 Colville, in the King's Road, Chelsea. We are told it will 

 live out of doors in warm sheltered situations ; but we be- 

 lieve it does best when preserved during the winter in a 

 garden-frame. 



A tallish shrub ; branches upright, stiffish, green, some- 

 what angular, furred. Leaves wideset, outstretched, re- 

 curved, broadly oval, tapered each way, acuminate with 

 a bluntish point, pale underneath with a more conspicuous 

 fur and varicose nerves: petioles several times shorter than 

 the blade. Flowers snow-white, somewhat scented, in 

 large decompounded terminal convexly crowded cymes: 

 peduncles pale green, roughishly furred, somewhat angular; 

 pedicles very short, one-flowered, with two Opposite bractes 

 either at the base or middle : leaflets of the involucres very 

 small, close-pressed, herbaceous, ovately oblong, obtuse; 

 partial ones in fours. Calyx small, shallow, herbaceous, 

 furred externally, rotately campanulate, teeth pointed, red 

 at the tips. Corolla campanulately rotate, at length re- 

 curved, many times larger than the calyx; tube very short; 

 segments of the limb rounded. Germen ovate, white, en- 

 closed in the funnel of the corolla: stigmas sessile, rosy red 

 at the top. Pollen cream-coloured.
