Moura, and being nearly, sometimes quite single, it affords 
the true characters of the species better than the double 
varieties. When the flower is quite single, having only five 
petals, we believe the capsules will be found to be constantly 
five in number, disposed in a regular star ; but these organs 
are liable to be multiplied, as well as the petals, and in some 
of the double kinds are frequently very numerous. Believing 
the natural number of capsules to be five, we have thought it 
right to fix that number in our specific character, which we 
had before considered as indeterminate. 
The blossoms in older shrubs are much larger than in our 
drawing, which was taken from a young plant in the first year 
of its lowering, in the collection of Wiiu1aM Kent, Esq. at 
Clapton, where it stands in the open ground in front of the 
conservatory.
