our fig. 344.) grows to the height of 3ft. ; and produces red flowers from June to August. There \t 



a variety of this with white flowers, figured in Bot. Reg.,t. 994. S. coronillcefblia Salisb. (Bot. Mag., 



t 1725.) and S. lessertimfblia Dec. are rather herbaceous than ligneous ; 



but their flowers are large and handsome, and, when kept in a frame 



during winter, and turned out in the borders in spring, they make a fine 



appearance.

 been introduced. L.fruticdsa Lindl. (Bot. Reg., t. 970., and our fig. 345.)
