pretty round-headed shrub, whose flowers are succeeded by 
blue fruit. 
In our gardens it forms a neat bush loaded with a profu- 
sion of white flowers, as large as those of Hawthorn, and 
spotted with purple, 
Fig. 1. represents the corolla split open; 2. a perpendi- 
cular section of the ovary ; 8. a transverse section of the same. 
The accompanying figure was made in the garden of the 
Horticultural Society, in May, 1844. 
It is a greenhouse plant, which should be potted in sandy 
peat, such as heaths are generally grown in. During summer 
an ample supply of water should be given, and air at all times 
when the weather is favourable... For a few weeks in winter, 
water once or twice a week will be sufficient. Fire-heat should 
never be applied except to keep off frost. It may be propa- 
gated from cuttings in the usual way.
