twigs, deciduous leaves, paler flowers, taller growth, the 

 slender tube of its calyx, narrow lobes to the stigma, and 

 many other characters of less moment. 



At present this shrub has not attained the height of 

 more than 3 feet ; but it has the appearance of being likely 

 to arrive at a more considerable stature. Its branches are 

 erect, slender, and rod-like ; its leaves pale-green, thin, 

 and deciduous. Flowers bright rosy red. Segments of the 

 calyx very narrow, and subulate.
