More recently I have received fromMiss White specimens collected at Jersey, which agree in most 2 a 2 characters with the West of Ireland plant, but are not exactlytrue to the type. Beautiful, and apparently distinct, as is, I am by no means satisfied that it should beregarded as a true species. For, omitting the curled branchesand the bending of the ramuli to one side, there are little or nocharacters to keep it separate from C. Icetevirens. I am notdisposed to attach much value to the curvature of the branches,as an absolute character,—at least until the species has beenlonger observed; meantime, the beauty of this little plant, be itspecies or variety, has tempted me to bestow a figure on it.
