C. microcarpa figured at folio 1846 of this work, as the true 
C. spathulata. 
A hardy bush, growing four or five feet high, and 
retaining its leaves late in the autumn. 
This species has very much the appearance of Cr. parvi- 
folia, from which it is essentially distinguished by its leaves 
being edged with strong dark glands, and by its large leafy 
stipules. The fruit is always green, even when ripe, is a 
little downy, and contains from five to six stones.
