Brit. Leaves ovate-lanceolate, elongated. 



A native of North Carolina, on mountains. (Dec. Prod., iii. p. 2.) 

 Closely resembling C. floridus in general appearance ; and requiring the 

 same soil and culture. According to Pursh, the flowers are like those of C. 

 floridus ; but their scent is not so agreeable, and is more faint. Whether 

 there is much difference between this sort and C. f. 5 glaucus, we have not 

 had an opportunity of ascertaining ; the plant in Messrs. Loddiges's arbore- 

 tum not having flowered. We have therefore retained the description of this 

 kind as a species, in deference to Pursh, DeCandolle, and G. Don, though we 

 strongly suspect that they are identical.

Spec. Char., $c. Branches strictly upright. Leaves 

 oblong or ovate, and gradually acuminated, slightly 

 wrinkled ; the upper surface rough to the touch, 

 the under one glabrous and green. (Dec. Prod.) 

 A dense orbiculate bush. Pennsylvania, Virginia 

 and Carolina, on mountains. Height 3 ft. to 5 ft. 

 Introduced in 1806, and resembling the two pre- ^ 

 ceding sorts in appearance and culture, but with 

 the leaves more pointed. Very probably the C. f.
