the authority of M. Frezier: but the species which produces that article 
is the I. paraguariénsis Lam., which will be hereafter noticed. J, vomi- 
toria is not very common in British collections; but there are plants of 
it in Loddiges’s arboretum, and in the garden of the London Horticultural 
Society. Price, at New York, 1 dollar a plant, and seeds 2 dollars a quart. 
C. Leaves quite entire, or nearly so.

Spec. Char., &c. Leaves ovate-lanceolate, flat, rather acute, entire, glossy. Flowers in axillary 
umbels, few in an umbel. Peduncle longer than the petioles. Fruit black. (Dec. Prod., ii. p. 14.) 
Flowers white, truly dicecious. (Don’s Mili., ii. p.19.) An evergreen tree, a native of the 
Canary Islands, introduced in 1820, The fruit of this species is said tobe black. We have not 
seen the plant.

Engraving. Willd. Hort. Berolin., t. 31., under the name of J. Cassine. 
Spec. Char., §c. Leaves lanceolately elliptical, nearly entire, almost revolute 
in the margin; the midrib, petiole, and branchlets villous. Flowers dis- 
posed in corymbose panicles, that are upon lateral and terminal peduncles. 
(Dec. Prod., ii. p. 14.) A beautifulevergreen shrub or low tree, found in 
open swamps from Carolina to Florida, and introduced in 1726. In British 
gardens, it grows to the height of 6 ft. or 8 ft., producing its white flowers 
in May and June, which are succeeded by berries, which become red in 
September. The leaves of this species are very numerous, and resemble 
those of Zatrus Borbonia. In America, as already noticed under No. 7., 
they are used in the same manner as J‘lex vomitoria. The species is scarce 
in British gardens, and seldom ripens fruit. It is most commonly kept in 
green-houses or pits; but there is a plant in the open air, in the Mile End 
Nursery, which was 20 ft. high, with a head 30 ft. in diameter. It had 
stood there many years, without the slightest protection. Plants, in 
London, are 2s. 6d. each, and seeds 6s. a quart; at Bollwyller, where it is 
a green-house plant, 3 francs each; at New York, where it requires pro- 
tection during winter, 1 dollar. 
Variety. 
## I, D. 2 laurifolia Nutt. has leaves large, elliptical, acutish, and pedicels elongated, and usually 
~ 3-flowered. It is a native of Eastern Florida, and alinost evergreen. 
App. i. Hardy Species of Vlex not yet introduced. 
Vex odordta Hamilt. in D. Don’s Prod. Fl. Nep., p. 189., is a tree, a native of Nepal, with sweet- 
scented flowers, which would be a very desirable addition to the species cultivated in British gardens. 
I. cuneifdlia Lin. Spec., 181., is a native of North America, of which very little is known ; and there 
is a variety of it (I. c. bonariénsis, said to be a native of Buenos Ayres) which grows to the height 
of 10 ft. I. ligustrifolia G. Don, the J. angustifdlia of Nuttall (Gen.. Amer., i. p. 109.), is said to be 
an evergreen shrub of Virginia and Georgia; and very probably is the same as J. angustifdlia of 
Willd. No. 6. I. nepalénsis Spreng. (the J. elliptica of D. Don) is a Nepal shrub, growing to the height 
of 8ft. As all these species are evergreens, they would form a most desirable addition to our 
woody plants of that kind, more especially the J. odorata, 
App. ii. Species of V'lex which may probably be found half-hardy. 
I. dipyréna Wall. is an evergreen tree or shrub of Nepal and Chinese Tartary, growing to the 
height of 12 ft., and bearing, according to Mr. Royle, a close resemblance to the common holly, 
especially when covered with its clusters of scarlet berries in November and December. JI. excélsa 
Wall. and I. serrata Royle are both lofty Nepal species, certainly half-hardy, and probably quite 
hardy. (Jilust., p. 175.) I. Perado A?t., the J. maderénsis of Lam., (fig. 187.) is a low tree of Madeira, 
common in our green-houses ; but, according to the Nouveau Du Hamel, it is much hardier than is 
generally imagined, and will stand the open air as well as the common myrtle. There isa plant of 
it grafted on the common holly, in the garden of the Horticultural Society, which has stood 
out for several winters as a standard, in the garden, without the slightest protection. I. chinénsis Sims 
(Bot. Mag., 2043., and our jig. 188.) is an evergreen tree, about 20 ft. high, from China, introduced in 
1814. IL. heterophylla G. Don is atree of 30 ft. high, from Japan, not yet introduced, and considered by 
some as only a variety of the common holly. I. macroph@lia is a Japan tree. I. elléptica H. B. et Kunth 
is anative of Peru ; and also I. scopuldrum and I. rupicola of the same authors : the two latter are trees; 
and, if they could be made to endure the open air in Britain, would be most desirable additions. 
I. Paltdria Pers. is an evergreen shrub, a native of Peru or New Granada, on the highest moun- 
tains ; and, in all probability, is quite hardy. I. emargindta Thunb. and I. crendta Thunb. are 
natives of Japan. I. serrata Thunb. and J. /atzfolia Thunb. are also natives of Japan : the latter 
is atree growing to theheight of 20 ft. I. myricoides Thunb. et Kunth is a native of New Granada,
