A small tree, with copious, opposite, round, pliant, mealy 6>Ymc/ie5. 

 Leaves deciduous, heart-shaped, rounded, finely serrated j cloth- 

 ed beneath, more sparingly on the up])cr side, with starry mealy 

 pubescence, like that on the branches, foot-stalks, and flower- 

 stalks. Stipulas none, Bracicas several, small, acute. Cymes 

 broad and fiat, of numerous, crowded, white ^o«.-er6,, with yel- 

 lowish anthers. Stigmas short and thick. L'emc^ comj)resscd j 

 in an early state red on the outer side, yellow on tlie inner j 

 finally black, with a little mealy astringent pulp. Seed large, 

 flat and furro\ved. 



The leaves turn of a dark red in autumn. This shrub is scarcely 

 worth cultivating for ornament, nor is it of any particular use, 

 except that the bark serves to make bird-lime ; but that of 

 Holly, V. 1 . p. 227. is much better.
