China and Cochin China. Height to ft, to 20ft. Introduced in 1820.
Flowers white, slightly tinted with pink. Fruit large, edible, yellowish
green when ripe ; rarely seen in England.
Differs from the common pear in having longer and greener branches, and
larger, more lucid, and almost evergreen leaves; insipid, roundish, warted,
very gritty fru it; and a calyx, the inside of which is destitute of the down that
is found on all the varieties of the European pear. The fruit is perfectly
hardy, and it is ornamental; but it is worthless as a fruit tree, It vegetates
very early in spring; when it is easily recognised by the deep rich brown of its
young leaves and shoots.
