side, and a dull green, or wine-purple on the upper. According to Kaoul it is found on the shore at Akaroa, in New 
Zealand, where it forms a bush two or three yards high. In this country it gives no sign of acquiring such a stature, but 
appears to be only suited for trailing over rock- work in places where the climate is mild enough for it. As an in-door 
plant it is not worth keeping.

391, LiGusmuM japonicum. Tlmnlerg. A liar Jy evergreen slirub with white flowers, belong- 
ing to the Order of Oliveworts {Oleacece), Native of Japan. Blossoms in July. (Fig. 190.) 
A hanilsome bush, free from hairs in every part. Its leaves are oval, acute, flat, leathery, scarcely shininf^. The 
flowers are white, in loose straggling panicles. The calyxes are almost 
truncate, much shorter than the cyUndrical tube of the corolla, beyond 
which the stamens project. It is very distinct from i. lucidum^ forming 
a much dwarfer bush, with flatter smaller leaves, and thinner panicles of 
flowers. It is a good addition to hardy evergreen shrubs, for which we 
have to thank Dr. V. Siebold.
