Reared by Mr. Moore at the Glasnevin Botanic Garden, from 
seeds sent by Major Madden, from near Almorah, Western 
Himalaya, at an elevation of 5500 to 7500 feet above the level 
of the sea; and a very desirable shrub it proves to be to our 
_ gardens, being hardy, like the B. glodosa, that 1s, only requiring 
protection of a wall, when it bears our winters unharmed, and 
has the advantage of flowering from the beginning of February 
until the beginning of May, scenting the atmosphere around 
with its fragrance. It has, perhaps, a rather extensive Tange 1D 
Northern India. We possess specimens (besides those from 
Major Madden) from Dr. Wallich, its discoverer, gathered at 
JULY Ist, 1854.
