and which is not inappropriate to this form, where the pedicels 
are as long as the axis of the fruiting raceme, except that, in 
the cultivated and some wild specimens, the raceme elongates 
in fruit to the length of three or four inches, as in the suc 
ceeding.

Guadaloupe, east of Victoria. February, in flower and fruit. 
— This appears to be a truly perennial species, and is remark- 
able for its strongly toothed leaves, as well as for the matted, 
extremely fine and close-pressed, silvery pubescence which 
clothes them. The upper surface of the older leaves, how- 
ever, is merely cinereous with minute and rather sparse 
stellar down. Petals apparently light yellow, three or four 
lines long. ;
