twigs are ufed for dying a cinnamon-colour, and the roots are 

 efteemed to be medicinal. 



It is a pleafing little fhrub, takes up but little room, and 

 though liable to be injured by early frofts, is not often deftroyed 

 by the cold of our climate ; yet it does not feem to be of long 

 duration, probably from being naturally fhort-lived j whence it 

 is apt to be loft out of collections, unlefs care be taken to 

 renew it. May be propagated by layers, but Miller recom- 

 mends raifing it from feeds, which often come to maturity with 

 us. Flowers in July and Auguft. Drawn at Mr. Salisbury's 

 Botanic Garden, Sloane-Street.
