truded late in the season, axillary, solitary. Calyx serrated. Fruit globose 
and red. Its native country not known. (Dec. Prod., ii. p. 537.) An 
ornamental tree, usually grafted standard high on the common wild cherry, 
or gean ; growing rapidly for 8 or 10 years, and forming a round head, 8 ft. 
or 10 ft. high, and 10ft. or 12ft. in diameter, with the extremities of the 
branches drooping to the ground; and flowering and fruiting almost the

Psion: Our fig. 406. 
Spec. Char. §&c. Leaves obovate, acuminated, 
setaceously serrulated, quite glabrous. Pe- 
tioles glandular. Flowers in fascicles. (Don’s 
Mill., ii. p.514.) The flowers are white, 
slightly tinged with red, and double, though 
not so much so as the double French. 
(p. 693.) The tree isa native of China, much 
resembling the common cherry tree, but 
not of such vigorous growth; and only the 
double-flowered variety of it has been yet 
introduced. It was brought to England in 
1822, and is singularly ornamental, flowering 
in April. There are several trees of it in the 
London Horticultural Society’s Garden, from 
6 ft. to 10 ft. high ; but it will probably grow 
much higher. ,

tree, a native of China, where it is called by the same 
name as C.serrulata. It was introduced in 1819, and 
grows to the height of 8ft. or 10ft. The flowers are 
produced before those of any of the other cherries, and 2S 
generally about the end of March, or the beginning of 7W aS 
April. The tree is readily known from the other cherry 
trees, even when without its leaves, by its rough gibbous
