horizontal, and its fruit large and either red or yellow, in 
all which respects it differs from this. Its inflorescence, 
moreover, is downy. It is possible that what is called C. 
macracantha in the gardens may not be specifically distinct, 
but as its fruit is red it requires further examination. 
The leaves of this species are remarkably leathery in the 
autumn, and then acquire a purplish cast and are shining. 
They fall off about the same time as those of C. punctata 
and pyrifolia. 
The plant from which our drawing was taken stands in 
the Arboretum of the Horticultural Society.
