are spreading and loose ; and the whole tree has an open graceful appearance,
quite different from th a t compactness o f form and rigidity of branches

Spec. Char., 4c. Leaflets 5, aciiiiiinate a t both ends, tomentose beneath, unequally
serrulated. Raceme thyrsoid, many-flowered. Corolla o f four conniving
petals, with their claws the length o f the calyx. Stamens 7, shorter
than the corolla. (Don’s MilL') A ilccidiious tree-like shrub. Virginia and
Georgia, in fertile valleys and on mountains. Height 3 ft. to 10 ft. Introduced
in 1812. Flowers variegated with white, yellow, and purple;
May and June. F ru it brown ; ripe in October. Decaying leaves yellowish
brown. Naked young w’ood o f a brownish stone-colour.
The whole plant, including tbe young
w'ood, is covered with pubescence.
The flowers are large, showy, continuing
a long time expanding, and numerous
though they are but sparingly
succeeded by fruit. When the plant
is raised from seed, it is remarkable
for its thick, fleshy, carrot-like roots,
which, in free soil, penetrate perpendicularly
to the depth of 8 or 10 feet ¡
before they branch. Unless when
grafted on Æ . Hippocástanum, , it is
seldom seen above 4 or 5 feet in
height ; hut it is a very free flowerer,
and, considered as a shrub, is in May,
when it is in flower, one o f the most
ornamental tha t the British arboretum
affords.
