Spec. Char., §c. Leaves ovate, quite entire, or ser- 
rated at the apex, smooth. Pedicels usually 
solitary, 1-flowered, very long. Flowers white. 
Berries large, beautiful crimson, very ornamental. 
(Don’s Mil., ii. p. 13.) This is said to bea very 
hardy, ornamental, deciduous shrub, and to be ‘ y 
cultivated at Courset, and in the nursery of M. Cels, at Paris. We have 
only seen a small plant of it, under the name of Prinos ltcidus, in the 
garden of the London Horticultural Society, which, in 1834, was 4 ft. 
high, after having been 8 years planted.

Spec. Char., §c. Leaves lanceolate serrated. A hand- 
some evergreen shrub, a native of Chili, at Coquimbo, 
and introduced in 1829. In its native country, it is 
said to form a small tree, 12 ft. high; in the garden 
of the London Horticultural Society, where it has been 
planted against a south wall since 1830, it forms a 
handsome, evergreen, branchy shrub, with twiggy branch- 
lets. It has also been tried there as a standard, and : 
found to be quite hardy. The flowers are in axillary 
clusters, with a corolla of a yellowish green colour, not 
showy. (Bot. Reg., t.1702.) This desirable addition 
to our hardy evergreen shrubs will, we trust, soon 
come into general cultivation. It affords one of the numerous examples 
which are continually occurring of the utility of trying house plants in 
the open air, since in published lists it is marked as requiring a green-house.
