" CratcB^giis Jiorentma Zucch. ; ilfespiliis florentina Bert. Leaves long-ovate, 

 heart-shaped at the base, dentate, woolly underneath. Calyx woolly, lobes 

 deciduous. Fruit ovate-globose, glabrous, 5-seeded. A native of Tuscany; 

 flowering in spring, and ripening its fruit in autumn. This species, of which a 

 notice has been sent us by Sr. G. Manetti, does not appear to have been 

 introduced. 



" C. opaca Hook, et Am., Comp. to Bot. Mag., 1. p. 25. This species was 

 found by Drummond, near New Orleans, in 183.3. It is described as having 

 oblong, obtuse, opaque leaves, attenuated at the base, and subsinuated ; ob- 

 scurely serrated, glabrous above, and ferruginous pubescent near the nerves 

 beneath. The specimen found by Drummond was in fruit, and he did not 

 see the flower. The fruit was about the size of that of C. Oxyacantha, marked 

 in the dry state with five furrows, alternating with the cells, and crowned 

 with the triangular segments of the calyx, Dr. Hooker thinks it quite distinct 

 from any other species that he is acquainted with." 

 849., before App. iv., insert : — 



" These species of Cratae^gus were all taken up, and replanted, in the 

 autumn of 1836, and some changes made, in consequence of which our 

 Synonyvies will no longer apply; but those who purchased plants from Messrs. 

 Loddiges previously to that year may rely on its correctness."
