Propagated by cuttings or layers. Flowers in June and 

 July, rather later than the coronarius : from which it is diftinct, 

 not only in the margin of the leaves being quite entire, but, 

 according to Mich au 5c, in the more • acuminate form of the 

 fegments of the calyx, and in the ftyle exceeding the flamens in 

 length and being folid its whole length, not divifible into four 

 nearly to the bafe. 



The native country of our prefent plant is certainly Carolina ; 

 that of coronarius is not yet afcertained : it feems evident from 

 Clu si us's account, that it was difperfed over Europe from 

 the Dutch gardens ; but whence it originated is unknown : per- 

 haps from Japan.
