tomary skill, in a valuable paper in the Transactions of the 
Linnean Society. 
It proves, now that it is cultivated, to be a hardy, in- 
elegant bush, having a glaucous aspect, and dull, pale, 
greenish-yellow flowers. 
Mr. Douglas sent its seeds from North-west Ámerica; 
and it was raised in the Garden of the Horticultural 
Society, where it flowered for the first time in April 
1830. 
Easily propagated by layers, and cultivated in the peat 
earth of an American border.
