imbricate at the base, the points spreading, obovate or 

 obcordate, slightly crumpled, the margins slightly 

 curved upwards, white with a yellow spot at the base, 

 and tinged with red at the points. Stamens about 100, 

 spreading : filaments short, smooth, straw-coloured : 

 anthers 2-celled, attached near the base by their back 

 to the filaments : pollen orange-coloured. Germen se- 

 riceous. Stigma very large, capitate, papillose, nearly 

 sessile, and hiding the style. 



Our drawing of this plant was taken at the Nursery 

 of Mr. Colvill, in June last ; it is one of the hardiest 

 species of the genus, thriving well in the common gar- 

 den soil, and in any situation where it is not too moist, 

 continuing to bloom for about two months, and each 

 day covered with a profusion of handsome white flowers, 

 whose margins are tinged with rose ; the rose-coloured 

 buds are also very pretty, before the flowers expand : 

 plants grown in pots make very handsome snug bushes, 

 and have a lively appearance when in bloom ; a mix- 

 ture of loam and peat suits it very well ; and young 

 cuttings, planted under hand-glasses, root without 

 difficulty. 



This species is a native of mountains in the south of 

 France and Spain, and is sold in the nurseries under 

 the name of C. populifolius minor, but is in reality much 

 nearer related to C. salvifolius than to that species; 

 the C. populifolius $ minor of Decandolle, which is the 

 C. populifolius of Cavanilles, is the C. populifolius 

 major of the Gardens, but is very different from C. po- 

 pulifolius major of Decandolle, a native of Mauri- 

 tania, of which we have a drawing taken from a plant 

 at the Nursery of Mr. Lee, at Hammersmith, the only 

 one that we have ever seen in a living state ; but fine 

 specimens of it are preserved in Mr. Lambert's Her- 

 barium ; it is certainly a very different species from 

 C. populifolius, and we believe no person would con- 

 sider them as belonging to the same that had an oppor- 

 tunity of comparing them when growing together; 

 we therefore propose to name it C. latifolius.
