This fhrub grows chiefly about the foot of the mountains, and thrives very luxu- 

 riantly among the rocks : it rites by a branched ftem, and /hoots generally to the 

 height of eight or nine feet ; but the trunk feldom exceeds two inches and a half in 

 diameter, and is covered with a thick furrowed bark. The leaves are large, fmooth, 

 and oppofite, of an oval form, and entire at the edges ; the flowers are white, 

 pretty open, and long j and the fruit a moderate lignous capfula, crowned with 

 five diftinct leaves, and divided into two cells, adorned with five longitudinal ridges. 



This plant is called by the name of Portlandia, after the prefent dutchefs of 

 Portland, who is a great lover of Botany, and well acquainted with the Englifj
