In regard to this and all the double-flowering herbaceous va- 
rieties, we shall refer to an account drawn up by Mr. Sabine on 
them, read to the Horticultural Society, and about to be pub- 
lished in their Transactions. 
This beautiful plant was imported in 1808, from China, by 
Mr. Whitley, nurseryman, of Fulham. Stems full three feet high ; 
leaves rugose and less shining than is usual in the species; flow- 
ers full double, having the outside petals reddish, and the inside 
petals pale straw-coloured. the whole becoming nearly white be- 
fore they drop off, emitting a scent somewhat like that of elder- 
flowers. It flowers about the middle of June.
