A native of Spain, and cultivated in British gardens in 1795. A very dis- 
tinct variety, when in flower, during June and July. It is tolerably hardy, 
_but requires a little protection during very severe frosts, Plants were in the 
Fulham Nursery in 1826,

Spec. Char., $c. Stems branched, elongated, procumbent, tomentosely 
pubescent at the apex. Leaves flat, or with the margins scarcely revolute ; 
green above and pilose, hoary-tomentose beneath; lower ones roundish ovate, 
obtuse; upper ones oblong-lanceolate, acutish. Stipules lanceolate, acute, 
ciliated, twice the length of the petioles. Racemes many-flowered. Calyx 
striated, smoothish. Petals obovate, spreading, distinct. (Don’s Mill., i. p. 
314.) Found in gardens, and, probably, a hybrid. Its straw-coloured 
flowers are produced from May to August. Plants were in the Clapton 
Nursery in 1829, 
Variety. 
—  t. Hy s. 2 miltipler (Sut, Cist., t. 94.) has double straw-coloured 
flowers, with the petals orange-coloured at the base. It is a very 
beautiful variety, tolerably hardy. Plants of it were in the Hammer- 
smith Nursery in 1829,

. H. d. 2miltiplex.— Flowers large, double, and of deep purplish red, mixed with lighter- 
coloured ones. 
Spec. Char., $c. Stem suffruticose, ascending, branched. Branches rather 
tomentose, erectly ascending. Leaves stalked, green, hairy above, hoary- 
tomentose beneath; lower ones oval or oblong, obtuse, flat; upper ones 
linear-lanceolate, ciliated, three to four times longer than the petiole. 
Sepals pilose. Petals crenulated, distinct. (Don’s Mill.,i. p. 314.) _ It is 
not known of what country it is a native; but it is, or has been, cultivated 
in England, as Sweet’s drawing was taken from a plant in the Hammersmith 
Nursery in 1829. It is nearly allied to H. poliifolium, and has a very 
brilliant appearance from May to June, from the dark rich red of its flowers, 
each of the petals of which has a deep copper-coloured mark at its base. 
The plant is a very desirable one for rockwork, When grown in pots, it 
requires a light sandy soil.
