V. V. This beautiful shrub, whose large flowers are 
of a cream colour, deserves a place in the collection of 
every admirer of ornamental shrubs. It has generally 
been considered as a distinct genus ; but I follow Dr. 
Smith’s observations in Exotic Botany, considering it 
always unnecessary to split a small genus on slight dif- 
ferences, though the same differences might be suffi- 
cient reasons for establishing a distinction where the 
genus i? numerous.
