 flowers of trumpet shape in September, or B. radi-

 commonly known as " Gum Cistus," and bears 

 innumerable white flowers with a crimson blotch 

 in each petal.

 beautiful shining leaves, and rose-coloured flowers 

 of a trumpet shape, in great profusion, looking as

 the summer.

 foliage, and pink pea-shaped flowers in autumn.

 mauve flowers, and orange fruit.
