duncles 2 or 3-flowered. Flowers white. Calyx of 5 se- 

 pals, which are villosely hairy, and taper to a long slen- 

 der point, the outer ones cordate at the base, and the 

 margins slightly reflexed, more or less tinged with pur- 

 ple : inner ones narrower. Petals 5, white, tinged with 

 red at the points, and a yellow spot at the base, broadly 

 obovate, imbricate their whole length, spreading flat, or 

 sometimes slightly cupped. Stamens numerous, spread- 

 ing, unequal in length : filaments short, smooth, yellow : 

 pollen golden yellow. Germen tomentose. Stigma capi- 

 tate, sessile, very large, tuberculate. 



Our drawing of this rare and very distinct species 

 was made at the Nursery of Messrs. Whitley, Brames, 

 and Milne, in July last, the only collection in which 

 we have ever seen it ; but we hope it will now soon be- 

 come more plentiful, as it forms a pretty upright bush, 

 and makes a neat appearance when covered with bloom ; 

 we suspect it will also bear our Winters without pro- 

 tection, particularly if placed in a sheltered situation, 

 thriving well in any light sandy soil ; and young cut- 

 tings, planted under hand-glasses, in August or Sep- 

 tember, will strike root freely.
