One of the most beautiful of all our hardy trees ; resem- 
bling the common Horse-chestnut in general appearance, 
but being smaller, and bearing a profusion of fine bunches 
of rich flesh-coloured flowers. Its native country is 
unknown. 
This is very different from the ZEsculus carnea figured 
by Mr. Watson in his Dendrologia Britannica; that species 
is the Æsculus rubicunda of Decandolle, and is distin- 
guished by its irregularly cut leaves, and tetrapetalous 
octandrous dark purple flowers. 
Our drawing was made in the garden of the Horticul- 
tural Society, in June 1826. es
