Although this was introduced so Ions: ago as 1824, it is 



still uncommon ; and yet there is not one of the shrubby 

 species which so well deserves cultivation. In many respects 

 11 approaches C. integrifolia, the only one with which it 

 can be confounded ; but it is readily known by its deeper 

 >elIow flowers, its brownish purple branches slightly covered 

 w ith wool on their youngest parts, by the coarser diverging 

 serratures of its leaves, and, as Dr. Hooker has well ob- 

 served, by the small upper lip of its corolla. As far as 



th a, ? ty is concerned » ^ is mucn the better of the two ; for 

 e leaves are of a brighter green, and the flowers of a more 



st "kmg appearance.
