shorter than the petals. Style longer. Stigma fleshy, 4- 
cleft: in one instance the divisions were again divided 
halfway down. Capsule-sessile, cylindrical, streaked, pu- 
bescent, two inches long. 
There is a considerable difference in the degree of vil- 
losity in different plants, and also in the undulation of the 
leaves. It is a yery desirable species, both on account of 
the size of the flowers, which in one of our specimens, 
measured three inches in diameter when fully expanded, 
and its very fragrant odour. 
First raised in Europe in 1790, from seeds collected in 
Patagonia, which came into the hands of Sir Joseru Banks 
by purchase, and were through him, communicated to Jac- 
guin, who first published a figure of our plant in his Icones 
plantarum rariorum. 7 : 
A hardy perennial of easy culture. Flowers most of the 
Summer. Propagated readily by seeds. Communicated 
by Messrs. Wuittey, Bramgs, and Minne, of the Fulham 
ursery.
