A native of the Eat bis. was oks in 1757, 
Mr. P. Miller, and bears ëmer P the 2 
part of the fummer. 
"There isa variety of this fpecies ii white bloffoms, (flore 
alba umbone carneo) which, with the red-flowered, makes a 
pleafing diverfity i in the Rove, among other fcarce exotics. 
Few plants maintain a greater fucceffion of flowers, during 
| the fummer, for, like the Tradefcantia, it always has a profu 
fion in ftore, and as one falls or dies away, another fucceeds it 
—when it blows the flowers are not fo large as towards the 
. middle of the courfe of its flowering, and after they have at- 
tained a proper fize, they again dwindle till they are not - 
above half the fize they were in the more en ftate of 
flowering.
