Spec. Char., §c. Branches warted with promi- 
nent lenticular glands. Leaves ovate, slightly 
serrate. Flowers three on a peduncle. Petals 
ovate; capsule bluntly 4-cornered. (Dec. 
Prod., ii. p. 4.) A deciduous shrub of re- 
stricted growth, and rather conical outline ; 
not marked by any feature of foliage, notice- 
able at a distance, that distinguishes it from 
E. europe‘us, but remarkable, and most dis- 
tinct, on close inspection, in the warted cha- 
racter of its branches. The bark is of a green 
colour, and the warts of a dark one: they are 
small, and very numerous. A native of Eu- 
rope, particularly of Austria, Hungary, and 
Carniola; introduced in 1763, and flowering 
in May and June. The flowers are of a pur- 
ple brown colour. This species is cultivated 
in collections chiefly for the singularity of its 
appearance; being among spindle trees what 
the warted ash is among ash trees. It ripens seeds, and is readily in- 
creased by cuttings. Plants of it, 10 ft. high, were in Loddiges’s arbore- 
tum in 1834. Plants, in the London nurseries, cost 1s. 6d. each; at 
Bollwyller, 1 franc.

Spec. Char., §c. Branches smooth. Leaves 
broadly ovate. A shrub or low tree, a native 
of Europe, and particularly of the south of 
Germany, and of some parts of France and 
Switzerland, where it grows to the height of 
10ft. or 12 ft., producing its greenish white 
flowers in June and July, which become of 
a reddish purple as they fade. Introduced in 
1730. In British gardens, this forms much 
the handsomest species of the genus, from its 
broad shining leaves and its large red pendulous fruits, with orange-coloured 
seeds, which, when the capsules open, are suspended from the cells some- 
what in the manner that the seeds of the magnolias hang from their strobiles. 
Even the wood of this species, during winter, is much handsomer than that 
of any other, the branches being regularly divaricate, with a clean bark, of a 
reddish green, and with long-pointed dark brown buds; by which alone this 
species may be distinguished from all the others. Unfortunately for this 
species, it is generally treated as a shrub, and crowded among other shrubs
