The above varieties differ considerably in the size, pubescence and form of the foliage, but there is a general resemblance not easily mistaken. We must not omit to mention that there are some varieties prettily variegated in the foliage with red or yellow. U. paniculata is a distinct species, in which the inflorescence is elongated, not flat or rounded. The variety grandiflora is a magnificent plant, in which all the flowers are sterile and pure white, forming a very large panicle. H. Thunbergii is a more slender species, with much smaller foliage, and flat cymes of blue flowers. The form in cultivation has a few of the outer flowers only barren, with rounded striated sepals. H. scdn- dens, including H. petiolaris, is of climbing habit, and differs from all the preceding in the petals, which cohere at the tips and fall together. H. arborescens is an American species of larger stature, with inconspicuous greenish-white flowers, few of which are sterile and enlarged, H. queroifolia, another American species, has lobed leaves and terminal panicles of greenish white or pink flowers, in part Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Hemsley, W.
