flowered. Flowers large, yellow. Calyz with five large, obovate, 
spreading éracteas, glaucous beneath, entire. Petals large, rather 
obcordate than obovate. Stamens about twenty. Receptacles of 
the numerous ovaries distinct, very silky, subglobose. Ovaries 
also clothed with very long silky hairs. W. J. H. 
Cut. A native of the elevated regions of the Himalaya, and 
sufficiently hardy to endure the cold of this climate during 
the last winter. Till it has stood the test of a severe winter, 
however, it may be desirable to keep a few plants in pots under 
protection, for, being of a suffruticose habit, it may probably 
suffer from severe frost. It is a free-growing species, increasing 
rapidly by its stoloniferous roots, and soon forming a large patch. 
It continues to flower until late in the autumn. J. S.
