Cistus Incanus

Few plants are more admired than the Cistus tribe, they have indeed one imperfection, their petals soon fall off this however is the less to be regretted, as they in general have a great profusion of flower buds, whence their loss is daily supplied. They are, for the most part, inhabitants of warm climates, and affect dry, sheltered, though not shady, situations.
The present species is a native of Spain, and the south of France, and being liable to be killed by the severity of our winters, is generally kept with green house plants.
It may be propagated either by seeds, or cuttings, the former make the best plants.
