The Arbutus integrifolia of Lamarck, is probably a va- 

 riety of Arbutus Andrachne. That our plant, specimens 

 of which we received from our friend John Walker, Esq. 

 is a mere variety of A. Unedo, we are convinced, having 

 received exactly similar specimens from Messrs. Loddidges 

 and Sons, whicff they assured us were raised by them from 

 seeds of A. Unedo. As a shrub it appears to be less orna- 

 mental than the common sort, from which it differs not 

 only in the margins of the leaves being quite entire, but 

 also in the branches being smooth. 



Is perfectly hardy. Flowers from October to January.
