This species of Callicarpa is well distinguished iVoni all 
others of the genus by the peculiar outline of its leaves, 
which are sessile and approaching almost to panduriform, 
with a long taper point. It was brought from China, in 
1822, for the Horticultural Society, by the late Mr. John 
Potts. Our drawing was made in the Chiswick Garden, in 
May last. 
A greenhouse uiiderslirub about two feet high, propa- 
gated by fcuttings. It is covered all over with hairs, which 
are for the most part simple. The .stuns arc round, and 
closely furred. The leaves cross each other, ar§ flat, yel- 
lowish-green, sessile, obovate, with a taper point, a little 
contracted towards the base, where they arc cordate ; be- 
yond the middle they are regularly toothed, and are more 
densely downy below than above ; their length is from 4 to 5 
inches; their breadth from 2 to 2h. The c^mes arc downy, 
many-flowered, dichotomous, and are placed upon a stalk
