This white-flowered variety of the E. Andromedæflora, from its hardy, dwarf, and robust character, might almost be considered as a distinct species, did not the appearance and shape of the blossoms bear out the specific title too well to admit of any alteration. The flowers are slow in growth, and of a thickish and rather tough consistence. It is a hardy green-house shrub, and blossoms mostly during the spring season.[Pg 7]
