Flowers white; May and June. Capsule brown ; ripe in August. A handsome plant, and, according to Sweet, one of the hardiest species of the genus, thriving well in common g;u'den soil, and in any situation where it is not too moist. It conti- nues in bloom for about two months ; and every day during that period the plant is covered with a profusion of hand- some white flowers, the margins of which are tinged with rose colour. The rose-coloured buds are also very pretty before the flowers expand. • 4. C. POPULiFOLius Z. The Poplar-leaved Cistus, or Rock Rose. Identification. Lin. Sp 736. ; Don's Mill., 1. p. 300.
