 the Kew herbarium.

[Cotoneaster reflexa, Carr. (Eev. Hort. 1870-71, p. 520), is, to 

 us, an obscure plant. In the place referred to, Mr. Carriere states 

 that it is a native of China, and had been described iu the ' Revue 

 Horticole ;' yet he gives no reference to the description, which 

 we have failed to find. Decaisne (Nouv. Arch, du Mus. x. 

 p. 173) refers C. reflexa, 'Hortul.,' to C. Fontanesii, Spach. Mr. 

 Nicholson, Curator of the Koyal Gardens, Kew, obligingly 

 furnished us with cultivated specimens of two different species 

 bearing the name reflexa — the one probably C. Fontanesii, the 

 other C. multiflora, Bunge. The former is recorded as a native 

 of Algeria and Persia, and the latter of Central Asia.]

This may possibly be a variety of G integerrima, though it has 

 coriaceous leaves, shining above, and is apparently an evergreen. 

 There is, however, only one branchlet bearing a few flowers.
