robust plant, and yet is altogether inferior in beauty ; it is 

 the P. verrucosus ; another is P. latifolius ; while the true P. 

 grandiflorus has rarely been marked with its proper name. 



The species now represented, is a hardy shrub, growing 

 in the garden of the Horticultural Society, to the height of 

 eight or ten feet, and by no means stiff or formal, but with 

 gently bending branches, loaded with snow-white flowers of 

 the largest size, and scentless. It is among the least com- 

 mon of the genus, although much the handsomest. I pro- 

 pose to figure the others by degrees, and as the task of doing 

 so is proceeded with, the distinctions between these plants 

 will be more apparent than any thing that could be here 

 said would render them now. 



The dissection shews the degree of division of the style 

 and the form of the stigmas, and the proportion they bear 

 to the stamens.
