Flowers white, 2 in. to 3 in. across, imbricated, each petal having a dark rich brownish crimson spot at the base; June and July. Capsule brown; ripe in September. One of the handsomest species of the genus, and so closely resembling C. ladaniferus, as, in our opinion, to be nothing more than a variety of that species. Young cuttings. Sweet observes, planted under hand-glasses in autumn, will strike root; but the best way is to raise them from layers or from seed.
