Flowers in a leafy, corymbose cluster, large, of a delicate, pale 

 pink, with cloven, regular petals. The whole herb is downy, 

 soft, and clammy, exhaling a peculiar, acidulous scent, justly 

 compared to the flavour of boiled codlings and cream. The 

 plant varies with white flowers and variegated leaves.
