Whv does B., in mentioning this shrub as 

 one of the parents of ]i. stcttophylUi, describe ii 

 as " a small species" P I have measured one 

 this morning 9 feet high and 17 feet through; 

 there are several of similar size here. Althouuh 

 not so showy as the hybrid li. stciiophijlld, it is a 

 beautiful thing, both in leaf and blossom, and, in 

 my poor judgment, possesses the superior interest 

 of being a natural species. Notwithstanding the 

 many fiiie results achieved ])y hybridisers, I am 

 sometimes tem))ted to wish tbey woidd hold their 

 hands.
