CHINESE ROSE MALLOW. II Flower, 4 inch II 1833, flowers in August, crimson. 
Hibiscus, from Ibis, a Stork. The single-flowered variety, now represented, 
is rare. It is far more beautiful than the double varieties which, at best, exhibit 
but a crowd of ill arranged petals. Its prominent style is singular, bot. reg. 1826.

Pimelea is said to be derived from the Greek pimele, signifying fat. This is 
a beautiful plant, certainly the handsomest of its genus. Both the beauty and 
the abundance of its blossoms recommend it to notice. bot. mag. 3459.

increased very readily by cuttings, and only requires good ventilation, during 
winter, to prevent its being destroyed or injured by damp. bot. reg. 1827.
