Neither have I feen this living. The flowers I'eem to be white, 

 and generally grow two together on ihort flower-ftalks, which are 

 filky like the calyx.

This fpccies varies with fmooth and downy leaves, and the calyx 

 is fomctimes merely filky, fometimes clothed with long and thick 

 projefting down. Some of its varieties are in the gardens, efpe- 

 cially what I take to be the /3 of Hort. Kew. which has fmall 

 downy tvvifted leaves, with a little recurved point, and is commonly 

 called Philadelphus pubefcens. It may be a diftinft fpecies. 



5. L. parv folium, foliis obovatis enerviis, ramulis calycibufque 



pilofis : dentibus membranaceiscoloratis. 



Of this I have only one fpecimen, nor have I feen it alive ; but 

 it is very diftinft. 



6. L. arachnoldeum, foliis fubulatis pungentibus, ramulis hirtis, 



calycibus dentibufque villofis. 

 L. arachnoides. Gcertn. v.i. 175. /. ^S' 

 I have but a fingle fpecimen of this fpecies, which agrees well 

 with Gartner's figure and original fpecimen at Sir Jofeph Banks's. 



7. L. Juniperinum, foliis lineari-lanceolatis pungentibus, ramu- 



lis fericeis, calycibus glabris : deutibus membranaceis colo- 

 ratis nudis.
