* J. c. 5 o. péndula. (flg. 2011.)—We apply this name to a plant at Kew
which resembles J .c . oblónga in the Horticultural Society s Garden
in every respect ; except that the habit of the mam branches is lasti-
giate, and the points of the shoots pendulous. I t forms a veiy
graceful plant, about 5 ft, high.
• J. c. 6 canadénsis. J. canadénsis Lodd. Cat. ed.
1836. (Jig. 2012.) — A handsome vigorous-
growing variety, coming near in foliage to J . c.
nana ; but, as we have only seen a small plant
of it in the collection of Messrs. Loddiges, we
are unable to depict the particular feature in
which it differs from the species.
« J. c. 7 depressa Pursh Fl. Amer. 'Sept. ii. 646.
—A native of North America, and does not
grow above 1 or 2 feet high ; though its root
will sometimes cover a space of from 15 ft. to
20 ft. in diameter. It does not appear to have
been introduced. Possibly this may be the
J. canadénsis of Lodd. Cat., No. 6. above.
Other Vaiieties. In Loddiges’s Catalogne, there are
J. cracòvia and hibêrnica, very small plants, but
obviously belonging to J. commiinis. There can be no
doubt of this, though, as in the case of ./. c. canadénsis
in the same collection, we cannot point out in 2012,
what the difference from the species consists. There are o ther names current
in the nurseries, in some of wliich they are applied to J. communis, in others
10 ./. ¿iibina, and in others to J. virginiana.
The rate of growth o f the
taller-growing varieties, in the
climate of London, is from
6 in. to 9 in. a year, till the
plants are 6 or 8 feet high,
after which they grow more
slowly ; and their duration is
more than a century. The
wood is finely veined, of a
yellowish brown, and very
? aromatic. I t weighs, when
dry, above 42 lb. per cubic
foot. The berries are, however,

Closely allied to J. commimis. The branches are small
and taper, without angles. Berries very large, of
