as Cornus, Rhis, &c. Flowers white. Berry crowned by the 
limb of the calyx. There is to be found in the gardens a varie-

Var. (3, stérilis (D. C. prod. 4. p. 328) h. H. Cultivated in 
gardens. This variety is called snon-ball-tree or guelder-rose. 
It is commonly planted in shrubberies along with the lilac and 
liburnum, grouping elegantly with the various purple hues of the 
former, and the golden chain of the latter, but they are all mere 
summer beauties ; nor does any thing profitable or ornamental 
follow. The several marginal flowers of the corymb in the species 
are dilated, flat, and radiant, without stamens or pistils. In this
