it requires to be carefully protected from extreme cold in 
winter, and succeeds best against a west wall. Its flowers 
are of a delicate greenish white, and are arranged after the 
manner of those of Arbutus Andrachne, to which species it 
is most nearly allied ; differing however altogether in the 
form and serratures of its leaves, and in the form and size 
of its flowers. 
The unripe fruits appear from our dried specimens to be 
like those of the common Arbutus, only obovate in a slight 
degree ; the ripe fruit is unknown. The strong root-shoots 
are covered with scattered bristles, as also are the leaf-stalks, 
and the leaves themselves on such shoots are very strongly 
serrated. 
Our drawing was made from a specimen obligingly sup- 
plied in May last, by Mr. Osborn, the present proprietor of 
the celebrated Fulham Nursery, lately occupied by Messrs. 
Whitley and Co.
