To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Bractes ovate, acuminate, convex, downy, more or less of a red colour, but deciduous, and felling off before the expansion of the flowers. Pedicles cylin- drical, densely clothed with fascicles of unequal hairs, the points of which bend inwards. Calyx of 3 sepals, which are ovate, taper-pointed, convex, or concave inwards, with one margin membranaceous, the other fringed, thickly clothed with longish spreading white hairs. Petals 5, more or less imbricate, cuneate, more or less crumpled, white ...with a light yellow spot at the base. Stamens about 180, the filaments unequal in length, smooth, light yellow: pollen golden yellow. Germen villous. Style short, pubescent. Stigma capi- tate, 5-lobed, papillose. A hardy strong .growing handsome Shrub, which makes a fine appearance with its large green Laurel- like leaves, and produces an abundance of flowers ; those even in the bud state are very ornamental, when covered with their large light red bractes, having the appearance of Rose buds. It thrives well in the com- mon garden soil, and needs no protection, being quite hardy, and may be raised in abundance by seeds, which ripen plentifully ; it may also be raised from .layers ; or young cuttings, planted under band-glasses in Au- tumn, will strike root.
