, Tobust plant, and yet is altogether inferior in beauty ; it is 
the P. verrucosus; another is P. latifolius ; while the true P. 
grandiflorus has rarely been marked with its proper name. 
The species now represented, is a hardy shrub, growing 
in the garden of the Horticultural Society, to the height of 
eight or ten feet, and by no means stiff or formal, but with 
gently bending branches, loaded with snow-white flowers of 
the largest size, and scentless. It is among the least com- 
mon of the genus, although much the handsomest. I pro- 
pose to, figure the others by degrees, and as the task of doing 
so is proceeded with, the distinctions between these plants 
will be more apparent than any thing that could be here 
said would render them now. 
The dissection shews the degree of division of the style 
and the form of the stigmas, and the proportion they bear 
to the stamens.
