Varieties. These are very numerous, and are annually 
increased in number by the selection and naming of seed- 
lings for distribution as improved forms in one or another 
particular. In gardens, they are generally divided into 
two sections, early-flowering and late-flowering, which are 
termed respectively Suffruticosa and Decussata. The 
latter have been chiefly obtained from P. maculata and 
P. paniculata; the other from P. glaberrima suffruticosa. 
Many of the varieties have flowers of the purest white, 
others vary much in colour; and almost all are exceed- 
ingly beautiful and effective. Varieties of P. Drwummondii 
come true from seed, but it is not usual to keep them sepa- 
rately named, except for seed-production ; they are gener- 
ally mixed together before being sown. The following is 
a selection from the two sections to which reference has 
been made.
