Varieties.
Î V. L . 2 grandifòlia Ait., V. L. latifòlia Lodd. Cat., has leaves larger
than those of the species, and, according to some, ought to constitute
a separate species itself. Mr. Gordon thinks this variety the same
as V. (L .) lantanoides.
66 Î V. L. ‘S fòiiis variegatis Lodd. Cat. has leaves variegated with white
and yellow.
It grows rapidly when young, often producing shoots 5 or 6 feet long, from
stools in coppice woods ; but becoming stationary when it has attained the
height of 12 or 15feet, which it does in 5 or 6 years; and, when pruned to
a single stem, forms a handsome durable small tree. In Germany, the shoots
of one }-ear are employed in basket-making, and for tying faggots and other
packages ; and those of two or three years old are used for tubes to tobacco-
pipes. Plants may be raised from seeds, which should be laid up in a heap
in the rotting-ground, like haws ; for, if sown immediately after being gathered,
they will not come up for 18 or 20 months.

(^Doris Miller.) The outer flowers of the corymbs are abortive and
radiant; a cii'cumstance, as Sir W. J, Hooker observes, noticed by few
botanists. A shrub or low tree, very like V. Lantàna, but of more humble
growth, and the leaves are larger, and tomentose. Canada to Carolina,
principally in the forests called Beech Woods, about Quebec and Lake
Huron. Height5 ft. to 10ft. Introduced in 1820. Flowers white; June
