In the fourteenth volume of this work, at fol. 1161, this 
species is represented in its flowering state, and some ac- 
count is given of its synonyms and general structure. In 
that account, however, it is necessary to observe that the 
fruit is erroneously described as black. 
The accompanying plate will give an idea of its appear- 
ance when in fruit. 
The tree, whence the drawing was taken, in the Garden 
of the Horticultural Society, is one of the handsomest in 
that very extensive collection of hardy trees and shrubs. 
It forms a dense pyramidal head, leafs among the first of 
the genus, and is soon covered with a mantle of snow-white 
blossoms. After the latter have fallen away the leaves 
become fully developed, and from their shining surface, 
neat figure, and firmness of texture, render the tree still a 
beautiful object. Finally, the rich crimson of the numerous 
haws which adorn the branches in the last days of autumn, 
harmonizes beautifully with the fading verdure of the leaves.
