This elegant dwarf shrub was named after the late Sir Wilfrid Lawson, Bart. Our figure was drawn in the summer of 1818 from a plant four years old; and if we can judge from the appearance of those plants we have seen in different collections, it will continue to be, as it is at present, slow in growth and low in stature.[Pg 107]
