There would be some pleasure in studying the Rudi of our 
country, if any of the species were only half as beautiful as the 
Present, and but a twentieth part as distinct. Besides the 
elegant form of the leaves, their copious serratures, and the close 
parallel venation, they are clothed on both sides, as is the whole 
plant, with a compact, appressed silky down. I find no species 
described that at all agrees with this plant.
