^ 0 . ( a . ) S . 2 oblongifoliaDeC.VvoA, C. a.) sericea.
iv. p. 272., C. oblongifòlia Rnjiin in Litt., has leaves oblong and
glabrous above.
This sort is very distinct from the two preceding ones, and comes nearer,
in general appearance, to C. alba than they do ; but it is a weaker plant, and
smaller in all its pains than that species. The two preceding sorts, C. (a.)

stricta and C. (a.) paniculàta, liave much narrower leaves, and a more compact
fastidiate habit of growth, than any other species or variety of the genus. C.
( a .) paniculàta is the handsomest of the three sorts for a small garden, as it is
easily kept of a small size, and in a neat shape, and it flowers profusely.
