A hardy shrub, raised in the Garden of the Horticul- 
tural Society, from seeds sent by Professor Jacquin, under 
the name which is adopted. We have not been able to 
trace it in any work upon the European Flora, and are 
unacquainted with its native place. Flowers in April. 
Our drawing was made last year in the Garden of the 
Horticultural Society. 
Branches brownish purple, with an ash-coloured cuticle, 
which peels off. Leaves oblong or ovate, obtuse, smooth 
above, white with down beneath.  Pedicels, if viewed with 
a lens, seen to be covered with very thin, deciduous, silky 
hairs. Calyxwes quite smooth. =
