A greenhouse shrub. 
n 
era 
from Buenos Ayres, with delieiously scented green flowers. Belongs to the Nightshades, 
in October. (Fig. 97.) 
This charming shrub would be passed by without notice, if it were not for the exquisite fragrance of its gran low 
out of flower it looks like an Oleaster (Elceagyius). It was originally introduced through the GlMnevin Garden. Wtik 
the exception of the upper side of 
the leaves, the whole plant is covered 
with a.grey starry down which gives 
it a dull appearance. The leaves are 
ovate-oblong, slightly heart-shaped 
at the base, on short stalks. The 
flowers 
appear 
with a 
in short axillary 
calyx much wider 
spikes, 
than the narrow tube of the downy 
corolla, which however widens up- 
wards into a true funnel - shaped 
figure. The filaments are not tooth- 
ed. The fragrance of the flowers 
is perceptible both day and night, 
but most so in the day. - 
Sir W. Hooker, in naming it 
C viridiflorum, was not aware that 
it had been previously called C. 
calycinum by Wiildenow.
