DIANDRIA MONOGY NIA. 
This was named by M. La Billardiere, 
after the author of Flora Atlantica, &c. 
M. Desfontaines. It is a native of Syria, 
and endures the cold of our climate very 
well, growing to a strong bushy shrub. It 
produces its flowers in the summer; they 
are not shewy. 
It is increased by layers or cuttings, and 
will grow in any common garden soil.
