A small hardy deciduous shrub, which grows freely in 
any good common garden soil, and flowers abundantly about the 
end of May, or beginning of June. It is easily increased by 
cuttings of the half ripened slender young shoots, put in sand, 
and kept in a close frame. 
It was raised in the garden of the Horticultural Society 
in 1841, from seeds presented by Dr. Royle, from the north 
of India, of the very high mountains of which it is a native. 
It was originally found in Kamaon, by Mr. Blinkworth. 
Its flowers are sweet-scented, and the plant, when in 
bloom, extremely pretty: but its leaves are too grey to render 
it ornamental when out of blossom. 
The accompanying drawing was made in the garden of 
the Horticultural Society in May, 1846. 
Fig. l. represents a magnified view of a flower divided 
perpendicularly.
