sent to the Horticultural Society by William Williams, Esq., 

 Governor of Moose Factory, in 1824. 



We possess specimens collected by the late Mr. Frazer, 

 in the southern states of North America ; and Pursh gives 



the banks of the Columbia as anoth 



but 



be suspected that he confounded with it two very distinct 

 species seen by Mr. Douglas in that country. 



A deciduous shrub, growing in the garden 3 or 4 feet 

 high, with red branches. Leaves oblong, obtuse at each 

 end, always smooth, finely serrulated, finally subcoriaceous, 

 like the other Amelanchiers. Stipules plumose, deciduous. 

 ~ les terminal, contracted or capitate, smooth, with 



lous, plumose bracteae. Calyxes externally smooth, 

 internally woolly. Petals linear-oblong, somewhat cuneate. 

 Fruit pea-shaped, ovate, deep purple.
