rous, about 100, spreading, far overtopping the stigma : 

 filaments smooth, yellow. Germen densely villous. 

 Style very short, scarcely any. Stigma very large, ca- 

 pitate, rugged. 



The present plant, if allowed, will form a strong 

 handsome evergreen shrub, if planted in the open bor- 

 der, and appears to be quite hardy, a plant of it haying 

 stood in our garden in the open border for the two last 

 Winters, without a single leaf being injured. It ap- 

 pears to be a very distinct species, but we cannot find 

 any description agree with it in any of the books that 

 we have examined, though we know of no species with 

 which it can be confounded ; we were at first inclined 

 to believe it to be C. longifolius of Lamarck, but it has 

 certainly but little affinity with that species, which we 

 believe to be not at all different from C. laxus. Being 

 so hardy, it is well worth cultivating in every Shrub- 

 bery, where it will flower the greater part of the Sum- 

 mer. Cuttings of it strike root readily, planted under 

 hand-glasses, in August or September, or it may be 

 raised from seeds, which ripen plentifully. 



Our drawing was made from strong plants in the 

 Nursery of Mr. Colvill, of the King's-road, Chelsea.
