Plants now in the Prefs. This is of the fame 
genus with tiiem, agreeing both in Flower

Leaves. The Flowers are ftamineous and

and almoft round, very ftiff and ribb’d on 
the under fide, of a dark green above, and 
I a pale colour underneath, thick fet on by 
I pairs, anfwering one another crofs-ways,

are of a very aromatick Taft.
