Its calyx is described as silky within, its petals as green and covered with fine tomentum, the exterior ones a little broader and longer than the inner (an inch long), and ovate-lanceolate in shape, and the ripe carpels obovoid and acutish. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
