16 H. vrrens (Sbld. 1. c. p. 690.) leaves ovate-oblong, acu- 
minated, serrated at the apex, hispid above (Thunb.); cymes 
stinted:; flowers difformed; corolline segments 2-3, unequal, 
white. h. F. Native of Japan, on the higher mountains, 
among Azalias, Euryas, Andromedas, &c. H. scandens, D. 
C. prod. 4. p. 15.  Vibarnum virens, Thunb. fl. jap. 123. 
Viburnum scandens, Lin. fil. suppl. 184. Shrub 2 to 6 feet 
high, rarely climbing. It is called by the Japanese Janratoosin. 
Green Hydrangea. Shrub 2 to 6 feet. 
17 H. panicura‘ra (Sbld. l.c. p. 691.) leaves elliptic, acu- 
minated, glandularly toothed, scabrous, tern on the floriferous 
branches; panicle branched, rather secund; flowers difformed, 
very numerous ; corolline segments 3-4, obovate, white. h.F. 
Native of Japan. Shrub climbing, 5 feet high. The plant is 
called Tsurudemari by the Japanese, and Too-sinkjine by the 
Chinese. There is a variety with very pale red flowers, culti- 
vated near the town of Posaka, very like the species, but does 
not climb, called Jamademai by the Japanese. Perhaps Vibir- 
num plicatum, Thunb. is only a variety of H. paniculata. 
Panicled-flowered Hydrangea. Shrub 5 feet. 
18 H. invotucra‘ra (Sbid. l.c. p. 691.) leaves ovate, acumi- 
nated, glandularly serrated, reticulately veined, hispid on both 
surfaces; cymes involucrated before flowering (involucrum ca- 
ducous, 2-3-leaved), crowded; flowers difformed ; corolline 
segments 8, nearly orbicular. h.F. Native of Japan. Plant 
suffruticose, hardly a foot high. 
Var. a; corolla lilac. Gimbaisoo of the Japanese; culti- 
vated near the town of Oosaka. 
Var. B; corolla yellow. Kinbaisoo of the Japanese. 
Involucrated Hydrangea. Shrub 1 foot. 
19 H. arrerniroria (Sbld. l. c. p. 692.) leaves alternate ; 
flowers cymose, polyandrous, difformed; corolline segments 2-6, 
3 of which are constantly ovate and acute. k.F. Native of 
Japan, where it is called by the natives Kusasimots-Ke. 
Alternate-leaved Hydrangea. Shrub 1 foot. 
20 H. Sirsrran (Sbld. l. c. p. 692.) leaves ovate, acumi- 
nated, acutely serrated, with the veins pubescent beneath ; 
flowers cymose, difformed, double ; corolline segments elliptic, 
of a fine rose-colour. h.F. Native of Japan. Shrub 2 feet 
high. Cultivated about the town of Miako, where it is called 
Sitsitan by the natives. Perhaps only a double flowering variety 
of H. Horténsia. 
Sitsitan Hydrangea. Shrub 2 to 4 feet. 
+ Species natives of Japan, but hardly known. -~ 
21 H. macrorny’t1a (D. C. prod. 4. p. 15.) branchlets rather 
pilose; leaves obovate, acuminated, sharply serrated, rather 
pilose on both surfaces; umbels terminal, compound, radiating.

Long-leaved Hydrangea. Shrub. 
22 H. nirra (Sbld. ex flora, 1828. nov. 21.) leaves ovate, 
serrated, villous; petioles and peduncles hairy; umbels terminal, 
not radiating ; stigmas 2-lobed. h.F. Native of Japan. Vi- 
barnum hírtum, Thunb. fl. jap. 124. 
Hairy Hydrangea. Shrub, 
Cult. The hardy species, or those natives of North America, 
are dwarf shrubs, and therefore proper for the front of shrub- 
- beries. H. quercifòlia does best against a south wall. Those 
species natives of Asia will require protection in winter, either 
by placing them in a frame or green-house. Cuttings of all the 
species root readily if planted under a hand-glass. H. Horténsia 
is in general cultivation for the sake of its showy flowers; the 
blue-flowered variety is in greatest request, which may be ob- 
tained by planting out the common pink variety in a bed of peat

soil, and letting it remain there 2 or 3 years; for the longer it 
remains the deeper blue the flowers will become : the plants 
may then be potted before the buds begin to burst, and they will 
then flower in perfection, and the flowers will be of a beautiful 
blue colour. .

2-celled, dehiscing longitudinally inside. Ovarium inferior, 
nearly globose, 3-celled, rarely 4-celled, many ovulate. Styles 
3, rarely 4, thick, fleshy, at length divaricate; stigmas obtuse, 
oblique. Capsule nearly globose, crowned by the permanent 
calyx and styles, dehiscing between the styles, 3-celled, rarely

Seeds cylindrical—Shrubs, with glabrous opposite serrated 
leaves, and involucrated cymes or corymbs of white flowers, with 
the habit of Hydrangea. 
1 C. Pervvia'na (Ruiz et Pav. fl. per. 1. c..) leaves oval or

corymbs terminal, many rayed, involucrated by 4 large decidu- 
ous bracteas. h. F. Native of Peru, on the mountains.

rameal ones smaller, ovate, with a few denticulations ; corymbs 
numerous, disposed in a terminal raceme, which hardly exceeds 
the leaves. h.F. Native of Chiloe. Closely allied to the 
last species, but apparently distinct. Both, but especially the 
present, have several decussate, patent, concave, stiff bracteas, 
along the stalks of the corymbs.

are the same as that recommended for the species of Hydrangea. 
They require to be protected in winter by placing them in 4
