 This seems not to be connected with P. Avium by intermediate forms, 

 but to be truly distmct from it. The two differ considerably in general 

 habit, leaves, flowers, and fruit. The shape of the fruit in Cerasus is 

 admirably described by Dr. Bromfield as ' small subdepresso-globose, and 

 scarcely cordate.' Fl. Vect. 146. It is not unfrequently produced, though 

 usually sparingly at any one spot. Cerasus begms to flower a week or 

 two later than Avium. The fruit ripens at the begiiming of July. 



P. Padus, L. Occurs in a hedge at Button, Cornwood, close to where

Found in damp spots over all the low portions of the enclosed country. 



Occurs in the immediate neighbourhood of Plymouth, as by the old 



course of the leat on Mutley Plain. In 1872 it grew by a stream at 



Lipson that has since been converted into a cb-ain.
