ARBORETUM NOTES. 73 
SAPINDACEAS 
(Carolina and Virginia) it is perfectly hardy, not atsculus 
having suffered at all from the winter of 1860-61. a 
It ripens in favourable seasons ; very abundantly 
this year 1868. The capsules are much smaller, 
and of a much thinner substance than those of the 
common and red Horse-chesnuts, and quite 
smooth; the seed of a very bright bay colour, and 
very glossy. 
HESCULUS INDICA. SCULUS (PAVIA) INDICA. 
PAVIA INDICA JACQUEMONT. 
First introduced by my brother Henry ;* he atscutus 
brought seeds from India in 1851, from which ids 
plants were raised here, and planted out the same 
year. One of the trees is now in the arboretum ; 
one at the south-west corner of pleasure ground, 
near the pond; one in the Vicarage Grove; and 
one between the stables and the east lodge. 
Others were sent to Wales, and some given away. 
The growth is exceedingly rapid; the leaves 
larger and more beautiful than those of any other 
/Esculés. The tree in the arboretum flowered 
(for the first time) in June, 1858, and produced 
that year twelve thyrses of flowers; it was then 
(in seven years from the seed), sixteen feet high. 
The general appearance of the flowers, and 
especially their style of colouring, is much like
