This universally admired genus, for ages the object of 
ornamental culture, has become so blended in our gardens 
by variation, that the accounts of the species are embar- 
rassed by iterations and false synonyms, springing from the 
difficulty of arriving at genuine distinction in a maze of 
transitions obscured by an endless fluctuation of variety.
