It is stated by Dr. Wallich that this plant grows on the highest mountains of tlic great valley of Nepal, and in the 
province of Kamaon, Dr. Royle speaks of it as being common in Mussooree, and apparently well suited to English 
shrubberies. It is a small bush with deciduous ovate-lanceolate stalked leaves, firmly serrated, dull-green and smooth on 
the upper side, whitish beneath. The flowers are pure white, somewhat larger than those of Hawthorn, in terminal 
corymbose panicles. The calyx is small, white, with five small triangular teeth. The petals are oblong, and rather 
crumpled. The stamens have large winged edges produced upwards into a strong tooth. The whole plant has a feeble 
somewhat balsamic smell. It is a small hardy shnib, growing well in the common garden soil, and easily increased by 
cuttings of the half-ripened slender young wood; is very pretty and flowers freely in May.— /owm. of Eort. Soe,, vol. i.

Mr. Henfrey has refen*ed this plant to the Gr. lavandvlacta of Schlechtendahl, described in the Linn(€a, vol. xx,, 
p. 586, from specimens collected in South Australia by Behr ; but if we are to trust the words "folia fere teretia" and 
"fructus matiirus extus Itevis et pubescens" he can hardly be right. We must however allow that the two plants are 
very nearly alike, and that the supposed differences may be merely accidental. We had overlooked the paper in the
