length of the peduncles, which are also more cernuous ; in 
the flowers having, for the most part, five, more oval, petals, 
and five stamens ; and in the angles of the capsule before 
bursting being more acute and wing-like. It grows to a 
considerably larger tree than the common sort; and the 
wood is applied to the same purposes, and especially 
adapted to turner’s work.

the Southern parts of Europe. First established as a dis-
