rather moist, and in a shady situation. It flowers freely from May to August 
but seldom produces fruit in England. The varieties differ very slightly from each 
other. The largest plants of this species in the neighbourhood of London are at 
Purser’s Cross, and at Syon, where there are bushes from 6 ft. to 8 ft. high.

- (Dec. Prod., iii. p. 2.) A native of Carolina, on 
mountains. This species, or, as we believe, variety, 
which was introduced at the same time as C. flori- 
dus, closely resembles it in general appearance ; and 
requires the same soil and culture. According to 
Pursh, the flowers are of a lurid purple, like those Of C. fléridus; but their 
scent is not so agreeable, and is more faint. Whether there is much differ- 
ence between this sort and C. f. 5 glaacus we have not had an opportunity 
of ascertaining; the plant in Messrs. Loddiges’s arboretum not having 
flowered. We have therefore retained the description of this kind as a 
species, in deference to Pursh, De Candolle, and G. Don, though we 
strongly suspect that they are identical.
