 May July, v v. — This beautiful vpecies has, to my 

 knt)wleclge, no; yet been introduced into the gardens. 

 I have ouiy seen it in its native place and in the gar- 

 den of Mr, John Bariram, near Philadelphia, whose 

 father introduced it many years ago. It rises from ten 

 to twenty feet high, and forms, with its elegant fo- 

 liage and large abundant rose-coloured tlouers, the 

 finest ornanienial shrub I know. The flowers are not 

 so much pubescent as the rest of the other species j 

 the scales of the tlower-buds are large, yellowish- 

 brown, surroimded with a fringed white border. 

 . A. nudiflora : foliis oblongis uirinque tenuissime cano- licolor. 



pubescentibus : nervo non setigero, tloribus parvis 

 non viscosis : tubo laciniis vix longiore, calycibus bre- 

 vissimis : lacinia unica linear! reiiquis quadrupio lon- 

 giore, filamentis exertis, ramulis pdoso-hispidis.
