When we were staying with Henry* at Aber- 
gwynant near Dolgelly (a small estate then be- 
longing to him), in 1864, I was struck with the 
beauty of the autumnal colouring of this tree, on 
the wooded rocky hills upon the banks of the 
Mawddach. The foliage had then just changed 
colour, and showed a variety of fine tints, between 
pink and yellow, so as to be very ornamental. 
Henry afterwards sent me a plant of it, which 
is now growing in the American Garden, is above 
six feet high, and very healthy and _ thriving. 
This year (1874), the foliage changed colour about 
the middle of October, and continued for some 
time to show various fine tints of tawny red 
and reddish yellow.
