I have frequently compared, in England, wild specimens of these two 

 species, and Scotch cultivated ones in the garden of my excellent 

 friend P.Neill, Esq. at Canon Mills, Edinb., and find no difference 

 but in the colour ;ind margin of the corolla. Those marks, however, 

 seem constant. Both are more or less procumbent and the leaves 

 are alike in botli.
