CIsTUS algarvenfes arborefcens exftipulatus, caule affurgente, pedunculis fubpaniculatis pilofis, calycibus triphyllis acutis hirfutis, soliis incanis ovato-lanceolatis.

Mill.

Icon. 290 ? This beautiful little shrub was raised from seeds received from Portugal by Mr.

LODDIDGES, Nurferyman at Hackney.

It comes very near to some of the varieties of CIsTUS bali- misolius, particularly to variety y of MARTYN, the one figured in MILLER'S Icones, which probably belongs to this species; but our plant feems never to grow erect, nor are the branches decuffated; it is likewife of much humbler growth.

There is a specimen without name in the Banksian Her- barium, brought from the province of Algarvé in Portugal, by MAsSON, with an extremely hairy calyx, in other respects ex- actly agreeing with this; culture may probably occafion it to lofe much of its hairinefs.

The calyx confifts of three equal very fharp-pointed leaves, without any trace of the two narrower ones.

The leaves of the flowering branches are not hoary.

Flowers in July and Auguft.

May be propagated by seeds, which it rarely pro- duces with us, or by cuttings, and treated as a hardy green- houfe shrub, requiring only to be protected from fevere frost
