designated by Arron. Mr. Arron’s plant, however, is now 
almost universally referred to the V. corymbosum, an opin- 
ion which I once entertained myself: yet a more accurate 
examination has led me to a different conclusion. But 
others must determine for themselves, and I will be content 
with giving an accurate figure and description of the plant 
in question. 
Descr. A rather small bush, three to four feet high, 
much branched ina straggling manner, clothed with smooth 
brown bark, the younger branches green and downy. Leaves 
an inch or an inch and a half long, obovato-oblong, entire, 
acute at both extremities, nearly sessile, above glabrous and 
shining, often tinged with brown, below paler and downy, 
especially when seen under a magnifier. Racemes corym- 
bose, on branches which are generally destitute of leaves, 
each of several flowers, pointing one way and drooping. 
Calyx-lobes nearly erect, tinged with rich brown. Corolla 
cylindrical, generally a little broader at the base, the mouth 
slightly contracted, with five reflexed teeth; the colour a 
pale yellow green, on one side more or less tinged with red. 
Stamens as in V.corymbosum. Germen partly superior. 
Style included.
