and the leaves, instead of being only an inch in length, measure at least three 

 inches. We might mention several other points of difference, but these we think 

 are sufficient to establish a material distinction between the plants in question. 



To find out under what name it came, has been fruitless ; and therefore, we 

 have given the above name, Ochroleucus. It is perfectly hardy, will thrive in any 

 garden soil, and flowers freely in June and July. From its dwarf habit, soft 

 yellow flowers, and delicate scent, it may be considered quite an addition to the 

 borders of an ornamental garden. It can be easily increased, either by cuttings 

 in the usual way, or by seeds. 



The generic name is said to be derived from kheyry, its Arabic title, and 

 avOos a flower ; its specific name Ochroleucus relates to the colour of the blossoms.
