where we saw a great number of them covered with 
a profusion of flowers^ which made a handsome appear- 
ance. It is very desirable for all collections, being 
a compact little bush, and flowering abundantly all 
the summer; it is also as hardy as any of the genus, 
requiring nothing more than a common greenhouse or 
warm light room, to protect it in winter, when it should 
be watered but sparingly. A mixture of turfy loam 
and peat, or decayed leaves, suits it very well, or any 
light vegetable mould, and cuttings root readily, 
planted in pots, and placed in a sheltered situation. 
We suspect it to be a hybrid production, but cannot 
trace its origin.
