di>tinct at the base. (Don's Mi//., i. p. 314.) A hybrid, found in Colvill's

 differs from it in habit, and in having a woolly calyx. The leaves are narrow, 

 ami undulated in the margins.

t^ //. r. . tHuttij'lt'f. ,Srrf. Cist., 80.) A very pretty double variety : it is well suited to rock- 

 wurk, on which it grows vigorously,"aud produces large flowers. It is quite hardy, and 

 continues in bloom the whole summer. 



Sjit-c. Char., iVr. Stein suffruticose, rather procumbent, somewhat tomentose. 

 Leaves ovate-lanceolate, tomentose on the under surface, green above, 

 hairy. Stipules lanceolate-linear, ciliated. Pedicels and calyxes pilosely 

 hairv. (D<t\s J ////., i. p. 314.) A native of the south of Europe, and very 

 nearlv allied to II. vulgure. The petals are rose-coloured, and imbricate at 

 the base. It flowers in June and July, and was introduced in 1815. It is 

 a verv pretty plant, from the delicate colour of its Mowers ; and it is very 

 suitable for rockwork, as it will continue in bloom for several months. It 

 requires protection during frosts. It was cultivated in the Fulham Nursery 

 in 1827.

 and calyx father hairy. 'Dun's Mill i. p. ;>14.} A hybrid, resembling H. vulgurc, but differing 

 from it in having white flowers. The whole plant is said to smell like 2?rybnia. It produces its 

 Mowers from May to July, and was in cultivation in 18(10.

f~ //. h. 1 vocation (Sin/. (V.v/., t. 92.) has flowers saffron-coloured, \\ith 

 more or less, of a ferrugineous t : nt, and may represent the species. 

 Plants of it were in the Clapton Nursery in Ib^H. 



t~ //. h. 2 ciipreum (Smt. (V.v/., t. 58.) has flowers of a reddish copper- 

 colour. Plants of it were in the Fulham Nursery in 1827. 

 *~ H. h. 3 nn\llij>lt\i (Sict. Cist., t. 72., and our 

 fig. 7.3.) has double flowers, of a reddish 

 copper-colour. Plants of this variety were 

 in the Fulham Nursery in 1828. 

 I), scri/i/ion, i\v. All the three forms of this species 

 are splendid plants ; they are hardy, of luxuriant 

 LTowth, flowering freely, and of the easiest culture, 

 cither in pots or on banks of light sandy soil, covered 

 \\ith (lints or stones. The flowers of ihe copper- 

 coloured variety, and also the leaves, are larger than 

 those of the two other kinds. The double-flowered 

 \aricty appeal's to be of a more upright habit of 

 -.Towth, and not quite so robust as the others. Sweet 

 a^ that he is "acquainted with two other very 

 distinct varieties ; one with flowers of a lighter 

 colour, and the other having double Houci>."
