sweetly-scently

Updated: May 26, 2025

This is a rare and beautiful species, of recent introduction, with large lilac-tinted, sweetly-scently flowers. D. LAUREOLA. Spurge Laurel. This is not, in so far at least as flowers are concerned, a showy species, but the ample foliage and sturdy habit of the plant will always render this native species of value for the shrubbery. It is of value, too, as growing and flowering freely in the shade.
