horizontal, and its fniit large and either red or yellow, in 

 all which respects it differs from this. Its inflorescence, 

 moreover, is downy. It is possible that what is called C. 

 macracantha in the gardens may not be specifically distinct, 

 but as its fruit is red it requires further examination. 



The leaves of this species are remarkably leathery in the 

 autumn, and then acquire a purplish cast and are shining. 

 They fall off' about the same time as those of C. punctata 

 and pyrifolia. 



The plant from which our drawing w^as taken stands in 

 the Arboretum of the Horticultural Society.
