 plant is of hybrid origin, the result of crossing the well-known 

 Buddleia Davidi magnifica and B. asiatica. A free-growing and 

 extremely floriferous plant, it combines the good quahties of 

 both its parents. Every shoot and lateral branch terminates 

 in a cyhndrical tail from 6 to 20 inches in length, which is com- 

 posed of hundreds of fragrant flowers. The flowers are of the

 Apart from its good habit and free-growing and floriferous
