producing its flowers in handsome many-flowered panicles, 
which are much elevated above the leaves, and not almost 
level with them. These differences are not the mere effect 
of cultivation, but are constant ‘in all the wild specimens, 
collected by Mr. M‘Rae, which we have examined. 
The chief characteristics of this species are, its finely 
rugose, denticulated leaves, covered over with a short, soft 
tomentum, which assumes a ferruginous colour on the 
under surface; the short white tomentum of the stems, 
peduncles, and calyx, which are never in any degree 
viscid ; and its terminal, many-flowered panicles. e
