This shrubby tree grows on the banks of rivers, and near swamps in 

 Georgia; but the twig represented in the Plate was from a tree in the 

 beautiful botanic garden of M. Noisette, a few miles from Charleston, 

 in South Carolina. The leaves are oval, acute at both ends, somewhat 

 downy beneath ; the flowers are yellow, tinged with red ; one of the divi- 

 sions of the calyx enlarges to a whitish leaf, tinged with red, which ren- 

 ders the plant highly ornamental.
