The plant here reprefented has long been cultivated as a 

 green-houfe plant in this country under the name of Convolvulus 

 Cantahrica> but it differs fo effentially from that plant, as figured 

 and defcribed by Prof. Jacquin in his Flora Aujir. and 

 accords fo little with the other fpecies defcribed by Linnjf.us, 

 that we have been induced to regard it as a perfectly diftinB: 

 fpecies ; in moft points it agrees with Convolvulus Cneorum, but 

 differs in having leaves much narrower, more pointed, and 

 lefs filky. 



It (takes moft readily from cuttings, is a hardy green-houfe 

 plant, and flowers during moft of the Summer, qualities which 

 many of the modern and more fhewy green-houfe plants 

 cannot boaft. 



The precife time of its introduction here, together with its 

 particular place of growth, we have not as yet been able 

 fatisfa&orily to afcertain.
