The two firft Sorts do produce their Flowers at the Extremity of their Shoots, the firft in g is he fecond in Form of an Umbel, but the third Sort produces its Flowers at the Joints of the former Year's Wood, in Bunches, fo that the whole Tree feems covered with white Flowers, when they are blown. They all three produce their Flowers in AL and fometimes continue in Beauty “till "Zune, in a cooi Seafon, for which they are efteemed by the Curious. Thefe Shrubs do require no other Pruning but to cut out all the dead Branches, and fuch as growirregular, and takeoff all their Suckers every Year, for if thefe are permitted to grow, large Quantities at that Seafon; but in the Su r they do require to be water’d more plentifully ; and at leaft once a Year they muft be fhifted into other Pots of a larger Size, as the Plants advance their Growth, giving em frefth Earth, which fhould be light and rich, This Plant produces its Flowers near the extream Parts of the Branches, which altho? not very beautiful, yet for the fingular Appearance of the hairy Leaves, which adds to the Variety of exotick Plants in the Greenhoufe, it deferves a Place in every curious Garden, efpecially as it requires no artificial Heat in Winter.
