The Rock Rofe of Pennfylvania. 
This tree rifeth to the height of about fixteen feet, producing ever-green leaves in fhape 
like the Jawrus cerafus, of a fhining green: the flowers, which grow in clufters, are mono- 
petalous, divided into five fegments, and fet fingly on pedicles half an inch long; thefe flowers, 
when blown, appear white, but on a nearer view are of a faint blufh-colour, which as. the 
flowers decay grows paler. One of the five petals is longer and more concave than the reft, 
and is blended with yellow, green, and purple fpecks, being a vifcous matter on the extremi- 
ties of very fine hairs: the convex fide of the fame petal is alfo fpeckled with yellowifh-green. 
The pointel rifes from the centre of the flower, and has its head adorned with {fcarlet, and 
furrounded by ten ftamina, whereof three are long and feven fhort, whofe farina iffues out at 
a {mall hole on its top. This elegant tree adorns the weftern and remote parts of Pennfylvania ; 
always growing in the moft fteril foil, or on the rocky declivities of eam on river banks, 
and in ee moift places.
