which, as far as we have seen, is confined to the flowers of this variety 
alone. 
The true hex angular is, or, at least, the sort known by that name 
to cultivators, and so beautifully portrayed in the Chinese paintings, 
which are sometimes brought to this country, is quite a distinct plant 
from this, and apparently nothing more than a variety of the myrtle¬ 
leaved. 
The figure in the Botanical Register, quoted above, represents it 
with the flower hexangular; the leaves, however, are not very charac¬ 
teristic of it, being too strongly serrated and pointed. The same may 
be said of the figure in the Botanist’s Repository, although they both 
convey a pretty clear idea of the appearance of the flower. In the 
other works referred to, very correct representations will be found of it.
