The varieties differ very slightly from each other.

A native of North Carolina, on mountains. (Dec. Prod., iii. p. 2.) 
Closely resembling C. fléridus in general appearance; and requiring the 
same soil and culture. According to Pursh, the flowers are like those of C. 
fléridus ; but their scent is not so agreeable, and is more faint. Whether 
there is much difference between this sort and C. f. 5 glaicus, we have not 
had an opportunity of ascertaining ; the plant in Messrs. Loddiges’s arbore- 
tum not having flowered. We have therefore retained the description of this 
kind as a species, in deference to Pursh, DeCandolle, and G. Don, though we 
strongly suspect that they are identical.

Introduced in 1806, and resembling the two pre- g&

the leaves more pointed. Very probably the C. f.
