Variety. 
u «x E.m. 2 floribinda, E. floribanda H. B. et Kunth, 
is a native of New Granada, on the Andes, with 
white flowers, and shining leaves, which are clammy 
when young, A very distinct variety considered 
by some as a species. 
This species forms a remarkably vigorous-growing bush, 
with long, flexible, rope-like shoots, and is very prolific in 
flowers. It is so hardy as to have stood through several 
winters, as a bush, in the open ground of the Kensington Nursery, though it 
was killed by the winter of 1837-8.

genus, and, like all the others, well deserving a place in 
collections.
