The accompanying plate shews the true character of 
Crategus flava, the single-fruited variety of which was no- 
ticed at folio 1932. 
I find nothing to add to the remarks then made, except 
that both varieties are among those which are the least worth 
cultivating for their beauty. In fact, their mode of growth 
is stiff and inelegant, their foliage is neither abundant nor 
deep-coloured, their fruits are indistinguishable at a little 
distance from the leaves they grow among, and there is no 
character in the flowers beyond that whiteness and sweetness 
which belongs to all the Hawthorns.
