It is evidently a variety or modification of

lleight 4 ft. to S ft. Cultivated in 1810. Flowers
white ; May and June. Fruit dark purple;
ripe Sept. Decaying leaves purple and yellow.
It bears a profusion of flowers, and dark purple fruit ; and, on that account,
and also on account of the purple tinge of its leaves, it is highly ornamental.
Dr. Lindley considers it a.s the most valuable species of this division of Byrus
that has hitherto been described.

orange-coloured, or red ; ripe in September.
This species forms a compact bush, and flowers
and fruits in the greatest abundance, and
lience it merits to be much more extensively
introduced into collections tiian it appears to
have hitherto been. It grafts beautifully on
the common hawthorn ; and, indeed, whoever
has a quickset hedge may have a collection of
all the species of this genus.
