The genus Deutzia, from the beauty and hardiness of the 
species, has become an object of great interest, and every 
addition to it is important in a Horticultural point of view. 
By the discoveries of Dr. Wallich and others in the North 
of India, of Professor Bunge in the North of China, and of 
Dr. v. Siebold in Japan, many new ones have been added to 
the original D. scabra of Thunberg; of these the following 
account has been given by Siebold. 
« All the species are shrubs, of which some (D. scabra, 
crenata) succeed only on plains but little elevated above the 
level of the sea, while others (D. gracilis, Brunoniana, corym- 
bosa, staminea) prefer the deep and humid valleys óf lofty 
mountains. ‘The most common species in Japan is D. scabra, 
which grows along hedges, on gentle slopes, and on rocks, 
seldom at a greater height above the sea than 1200 feet, 
where it is associated with Euonymus, Viburnum, Eurya, Li- 
gustrum, Lonicera, Vitis, Cissus, &c. It is much like our 
Syringa, except that the flowers are much smaller, and the 
branches curve upwards, &c. Towards the end of the year 
the leaves of this species are collected for the use of the cabi- 
net-makers, who employ it as a polishing material in place of 
the Dutch Rushes (Equisetum) of Europe. Hedges are also 
formed of the shrub, and it is cultivated in gardens, especially 
a variety with double flowers, which is agreeably intermingled 
with the different species of Hydrangea, Aralia pentaphylla, 
&c. D. crenata is more rare, and succeeds best in the vallies 
of little elevation, and damp; it is also found in hedges in- 
termixed with D. scabra. D. gracilis occurs only on the 
January, 1840. ; c
