h. Alt. T ‘Shem Iowa, and Florida, 1740. This moses 
is very near P. paniculata, differing in its narrower oblong 
panicle and scarcely-pointed calyx lobes. The stems are dwarfer, 
and spotted with purple, and the flowers sweet-scented. The 
normal tint of the flowers is purple, but they vary in colour. 
Then there is the form with a more pyrami inflorescence, 
called P. pyramidalis (S. B. F. G. 233). The garden varieties 
of this and P. paniculata, generally referred to in nursery 
catalogues under the name of P. decussata, are so blended and 
intermixed that it is now impossible to refer them to their 
respective species. Moreover, the typical plants are almost 
unknown out of botanical collections. Other forms are: P. 
odorata (8. B. F. G. 224), P. pendulijlora (S, B. F. G. ser. ii, 46), 
P. vefleza G. H. E. G. 238), P. candida 1. a white-flowered 
enerall.
