We cannot bring ourfelves to think this any other than a 

 variety of the above fpecies. This variety is faid to have been 

 found in the country near Gibraltar, whence it was received 

 in 1780, by the late Dr. Fothergill. Flowers fweet-fcented. 

 Should be fheltered in a pit or garden frame.

 colleaion of Mr. Williams, Nurferyman, at Turnham- 

 Green. G. *
