Petals 5, white, imbricate at the base, obcordate. Sta- 

 mens about 100 '.filaments unequal in length, spreading, 

 yellow : pollen yellow. Germen clothed with a short thin 

 pubescence. Stigma sessile, large, capitate, granular. 



A great many different species are sold by the name 

 of C. salvifolius at different Nurseries, scarcely any of 

 the Nurserymen knowing the real plant, though it is 

 very readily distinguished from all others, by its solitary 

 one-flowered jointed peduncles, and its obtuse leaves, 

 that are not cordate at the base, and it cannot be easily 

 confused with any other. It is a native of several parts 

 of Europe, and succeeds well in the open air in a shel- 

 tered situation, thriving well in the common garden soil, 

 or, if grown in pots, a mixture of sandy loam and peat 

 will suit it very well. Young cuttings, planted under 

 hand-glasses, any time from the latter end of July, to 

 the beginning of September, will root freely ; they may 

 also be raised from seeds, which ripen in abundance. 



Our drawing was made from a plant at the Nursery 

 of Mr. Colvill, last Summer.
