I54 MEMOIRS OF THE NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN. 



In the size and form of the fruit and the form of the petals it re- 

 sembles closely A. rubra, but the berries are perfectly white, the 

 plant taller, the leaflets broader and more acuminate and the teeth are 

 sharper. In general habit it more resembles^-!, argnta, from which 

 it differs in the color and the size of the fruit and somewhat also in 

 the form of the petals. It grows in rich w^oods, at an altitude of 

 1000-2500 m.

Perhaps scarcely more than a variety of A. cocriilea, but is re- 

 garded as a distinct species by several recent botanists : it differs 

 from A. coerulea mainly in its white flowers, which are occasionally 

 slightly tinged with blue. It grows on mountain sides at altitudes 

 of 2500-3000 m.
