Botanical Description
Convolvulus Cneorum is a native of Spain and the Le- vant, was cultivated in the Botanic Garden at Chelsea in 1739, and flowers from May to September. Ait. Kew. In fize, habit, &c. this species has some affinity to the Convolvulis linearis, figured pl. 289, but differs from it, and other species ufually cultivated with us, in the filky appearance of its foliage, which it is not in the artift's power to imitate, and for the beauty of which, more than that of its flowers, it is very generally kept in collections of green-houfe plants; its blof- foms are nearly white and rarely or never productive of feeds in this country, hence it is increafed by cuttings. It is a hardy green-houfe plant, requiring a dry rather than a moift regimen. --- CBM-ToList-459t.
