a fatal disease ; S. vibratilis Fr. ; S. erythrostoma Pcrs., on dead leaves still

Prunus domestica 4 myrobdlana. Page 688., insert at the end of the paragraph : 

 " Myrobalans are fruits resembling dried plums, sold in India for givin"- 

 a black dye to leather when mixed with iron filings, and also for 

 fixing colours. (See JVtCidloch in Trans. Soc. Arts, vol. xix. p. 343.)" 

 P. cdndicans. 690., add to list o? Engravings, " Bot. Reg., t, 1135." Add 

 to last line: " It was first described by M. Balbis in the Cat. of the 

 Taurida Garden, in 1813; and it was introduced into Britain from 

 BoUwyller in 1825. This species is quite hardy ; easily cultivated; and 

 so laden with white blossoms in spring, as to appear a mass of snow 

 whence the name, and not from the leaves, as Seringa supposes. (See 

 Bot. Reg., t. 1135.)" 

 Cerasus. 692., after the first paragraph, add : " T7ie fungi on the common 

 cherry are : Trpex Cerasi Fr., Cenangium 6'erasi Fr. ; Sphae'ria pul- 

 chella Pers., also on the birch ; S. varia Pers., on the bird-cherry ; 

 Sclerotium areolatum Fr., Dothidea fulva Fr., Asteroma Padi Dec, 

 C/redo porphyrogenita Lk., all on the leaves; and Scolicotrichum 

 virescens Kz., on the branches. On the leaves of the cherry laurel 

 are : Ceuthospora -Lauri Grev., Phacidium Laurocerasi Desm., which 

 also grows on Cerasus lusitanica. — AI. J. B." 

 C. sylvestris. 695., add to paragraph headed " Geography : " " Cherries grow 

 wild at Portella, on Mount Etna, at 2970 ft. above the level of the sea ; 

 but not lower, as the climate becomes too warm for them. (Com. Bot. 

 Mag., i. p. 91.) On the Swiss Alps, according to Kasthofer, C. syl- 

 vestris ripens fruit at Chiirwalden, 3964 ft. above the level of the sea, 

 where no kernel fruit will grow. (Voyage, &c., p. 145.)" 

 C. chicasa and C. pubescens. 705., both these species Mr. Gordon considers 



as belonging to Prunus, instead of Cerasus. 

 C. Pddus 4 bracteosa. 709. This, Mr. Gordon informs us, is the Padus race- 

 mosus of Loddiges and others. 

 He adds that there is another 

 distinct late-flowering variety 

 in the Horticultural Society's 

 Garden, raised from seeds 

 received from Douglas ; and 

 which appears to be the same 

 as C. mollis. (See p. 714.)

 Engravings : After " C. /. 2
