Fig. 1 . represents one of the stellate hairs on the upper 
surface of the leaves. 
It is a hardy evergreen shrub or small tree, succeeding 
well in any good loamy soil. It flowers freely in June and 
July, and is only increased by seeds or by suckers, which are 
sometimes produced when the plants become old. It was 
raised in the garden of the Horticultural Society from seeds 
received from Dr. Royle.
