the base within, one on each side the base of the filament.

Cuxr. This fine species of Berberry proves to be quite hardy 
in the climate of Devonshire, and forms a handsome evergreen 
bush. It is said to be found, in its native country, growing 
near the limit of the summer-line of snow, but we fear that it 
does not come from a sufficiently high southern latitude to 
warrant the supposition that it will bear with impunity the 
severity of some of our winters, except in favourable situations in 
the southern and western counties near the coast. J. 8.
