the following species. It is a native of the Crimea, and the parts
bordering on the Black Sea ; and was introduced in 1810. On account
of the colour of its fruit, and the abundance in which it is
produced, it deserves a place in every collection.
Readily distinguished from most other species by its very hoary branches,
which are loose, rambling, crossing each other, and somewhat {lendulous. It
is late in producing its leaves, and also its flowers : the latter generally appear
with those of C. tanacetifòlia, about the end of May (in 1836, on the 17th of
June).

to have been raised in the Hammersmith Nursery. A splendid tree.
