Tliis species has the largest leaves of any, and they taper 

 gradually to a very acute pomt : their margins are scarcely 

 serrated, and the black glands are very small.

The almost decidedly elliptical leaves, the numerous regu- 

 larly arranged black glands on the serrated margin, and 

 the obtuse angles to the capsule, will readily distinguish this 

 from the preceding species. In this and in all the glandular 

 leaved ones, these glands are obliquely sessile ovate, and 

 acuminated, and of a solid texture. 



This is the only species which^ in the dried state, yields a 

 fragrant smell when the wood is burned; hence I have 

 another argument for considering it to be the CoUiguay o^ 

 Molina. 



C. odorifera has been introduced by Robert Barclay, Esq. 

 of Buryhillj to our green-houses: and in his collection, and 

 that of the Edinburgh Botanic Garden, there are living

■ plants in a very healthy state, but which have not yet borne 

 flowers. The recent foliage is of a dark green hue, and very 

 glossy- In the dried specimens, it always becomes yellowish, 

 or in some instances it inclines to black.
