Spec. Char., Sfc. Leaves oblong, clothed on both surfaces with fine hoary 

 pubescence, not bristly on the nerve. Flowers small, not clanini}', naked. 

 Tube of corolla hardly longer than the segments. Calyxes very short ; 

 having one of the segments linear, and + times longer than the rest. Fila- 

 ments exserted. Branchlets hispid. (Z>o«'a- il//'//., iii. p. 848.) The Howers, 

 which are slender, and smaller than those of most of tiie species, are of a pale 

 rose colour, or nearly white, w ith a deep-red-coloured tube. The plant is a 

 native of Carolina and Georgia, on barren sandy hills ; where it forms a 

 shrub growing from 3 ft. to 4 ft. high, and flowering in May and June. It was 

 introduced in I7.'i4, and is frequent in British gardens; though it does not 

 appear to us to deserve to be considered in any other hglit than as a va- 

 riety of R. nudiflorum.

Spec. Char., Sfc. Leaves oblonc, pubescent on both sur" 

 faces, but afterwards hairy. Flowers large, not clamm\', 

 rather naked. Teeth of calyx oblong. Tube of corolla 

 hairy, shorter than the segments. (Dun's ^lill., iii. p. 

 847.) The plant is indigenous to North America, from 

 Pennsylvania to Carolina ; where it forms a shrub 

 from 2 ft. to 6 ft. high, and producing its yellow, red, 

 orange-coloured, or copper-coloured flowers from May 

 till June; which, according to Pursh, is without ex- 

 ception, the handsomest shrub in North America. 



Varictk's. 



a R. c. 2 MortaW Swt. Fl.-Gard., 2d s., 10., is a hybrid between 7?. calen- 

 dulaceum and one of the red varieties of li. nudiflorum, of which 

 there are two subvarieties ; one with a flesh-coloured corolla, having 

 the upper segment orange-coloured, edged with flesh-colour, called 

 K. Morteni carneum ; and another, called R. Morteni var. prse'stans, 

 with pale copper-coloured flowers, tinged with blush. 



* R. r. 3 fu/gidiini Hook., A. c. fulgida Hurt., has the corollas of an 

 orange-red colour, with bright green leaves, which spread out be- 

 neath the corymbs of flowers, and form a rich background to tiiem.
