In the mnuntains of Carolina and Georgia. Tj . Aug. 

 V. V. This beautiful shrub, whose large flowers are 

 of a cream colour, deserves a place in the collection of 

 every admirer of ornamental shrubs. It has generally 

 been considered as a distinct genus ; but I follow Dr. 

 Smitli's observations in Exotic Botany, considering it 

 always unnecessary to split a small genus on slight dif- 

 ferences, though the same ditferences might be suffi- 

 cient reasons for establishing a distinction where the 

 genus is numerous.
