The accompanying- plate shews the true character of 

 Ci'ataegus flava, the single-fruited varietj^ of whicli was no- 

 ticed at folio 1932. 



I find nothing to add to the remarks then made, except 

 that both varieties are among those which are the least worth 

 cultivating for their beauty. In fact, their mode of growth 

 is stiff and inelegant, their foliage is neither abundant nor 

 deep-coloured, their fruits are indistinguishable at a little 

 distance from the leaves they grow among, and there is no 

 character in the flowers beyond that whiteness and sweetness 

 which belongs to all the Hawthorns.
