ovato-oblong leaflets, downy in the middle; the margin 
glabrous. Petals large, white, spreading, obcordate, veined 
at the base, where it is lengthened into a sort of claw, bifid 
at the extremity. Stamens ten; five alternately shorter. 
Pistil: Germen subglobose : Styles five, filiform; Stigmas 
subclavate, glandular, and yellow. The Capsule, accord-

An inhabitant of dry, stony places in the higher Tau- 
rian Alps, and sent to our garden by M. Fiscuer of 
Gottingen. It flowers early in July, and is a far more 
desirable plant for cultivation than C. tomentosum ; being 
distinguished from it by its broader foliage, and its much 
larger flowers, which are of a pure white colour.
