Fine flowering fpecimens of this beautiful fhrub, in a living 
ftate, were tranfmitted to our draughtfman from Fonthill, by 
Mr. Mixing, laft fummer. But as we had no opportunity of 
feeing them, except in a dried ftate in the Herbariums of Sir 
Joseru Banks and Mr. Lamsert, we can only obferve, that 
the leaves are much narrower, more reticulated, and more acutely 
fawed, than in /erraius ; in which they are rather crenate than 
ferrate, in thofe {pecimens which we have feen. The flowers too 
are not nearly fo diftant on the racemes. The fruit of this fpecies 
Is globular, the fize of a {mall floe, and, as the name denotes, 
blue; but we have not heard that any has been as yet produced 
In this country.
