produced trained as standards. All this might be done by any gentleman living in the country 
(whatever may be the soil or climate of his estate), who keeps a head gardener, without incurring 
20s. of extra expense ; and it would not be easy to point out any other mode, at once so simple and 
so effectual, for creating a botanical and floral interest in verdant scenery. Those who have not 
paid much attention to this family of low trees, we would recommend to visit the Horticultural So- 
ciety’s Garden in the months of May and September ; and to observe, more particularly in May, 
the different varieties of C. Oxyacantha, C. heterophylla, C. coccinea, C. Cras-galli, C. punctata, and 
C. macracantha ; and, in September, C. Ardnia, €. orientalis, C. tanacetifdlia, C. maroccana, C. hete- 
rophylla, and C, cordita: but, indeed, if we were to mention all the species and varieties which we 
think eminently beautiful, we should be compelled to repeat Mr. Gordon’s enumeration. 
App. ii. Additional Species of Crataegus. 
Notwithstanding the number of sorts of Crataz‘gus already in the country, there appear to be 
several yet to introduce; and it is highly probable that there are some European and Asiatic sorts, 
and many American kinds, as yet undiscovered by botanists. We are informed by a botanist who 
has lately travelled through a considerable part of the United States and of Canada, that numbers of 
sorts of Crate*zus accompanied him almost every where ; and that, from the different appearances they 
presented in different soils and situations, he was quite puzzled to know what to make of them. 
He made the same remark with respect to the genus Quércus. Mr. M‘Nab, jun., of the Edinburgh 
Botanic Garden, has, we understand, brought from America a great number of seeds of the genus 
Cratz‘gus, from which some new sorts may confidently be anticipated. The following names occur 
in De Candolle’s Prodromus, and in Don’s Miller ; some of which, in all probability, are mere 
synonymes of kinds already in the country; but others may belong to kinds not yet introduced. 
§ i. Leaves toothed, or nearly entire, never angularly lobed. 
C. subspindsa Dec. Prod., 2. p. 626., Méspilus subspindsa Vent., isa native of Chili, with fruit only 
half the size of a pea, and nearly dry. 
C. prunellefdlia Bosc in Dec. Prod., ii. p. 627., the Prunella-teaved Thorn, is said to resemble in 
habit Primus spindsa ; but its native country and flowers are unknown. (Don’s Mill., 2. p. 598.) 
C. latifolia Pers. (Don’s Miil., ii. p. 598.) is a native of North America, with oval red fruit; said 
to have been introduced in 1520; but where it is tobe found, or of what sort it is a synonyme, we 
have been unable to ascertain, 
C. flexuosa Poir. (Don’s Miil., ii. p.598.) is a native of Carolina, with entire obovate pubescent 
leaves ; spines very long, and blackish ; and fruit of a reddish yellow. 
C. alpina Mill. Dict., No. 3., (Don’s Mill. ii. p. 599.) is said to be a native of Mount Baldo, and 
other Italian mountains ; and, of course, was in cultivation in Miller’s time: but of what sort it is 
a synonyme, or whether it is now in the country, is uncertain. 
C. ivtea Poir. (Don’s Mill., ii. p. 599.) has ovate pubescent leaves, long and strong spines; and its 
native country isunknown. From the description, it appears to be different from either the C. Oxya- 
cintha atrea or the C. flava of British gardens. 
C. pauciflora Pers., Méspilus paucifldra Poir., is a native of Switzerland, about Lausanne; with 
solitary flowers ; probably a variety of Méspilus grandiflora, 
C. unilateralis Pers. (Don’s Mill., ii. p. 599.) is a native of Carolina, with the corymbs of flowers 
unilateral. Dried specimens are in the herbarium of A. B. Lambert, Esq- 
C. licida Mill. Dict., No. 6., (Don’s Mill., ii. p. 599.) has lanceolate serrated leaves, very long 
spines, and pale red flowers. We do not know of any plant now in the country answering to this 
description, 
§ ii. Leaves variously lobed, or cut. 
C. turbinata Pursh (Don’s Miil., ii. p. 599.) is a native of Carolina and Virginia; and, according 
to Pursh, allied to C. spathulata. 
C. pentdgyna Waldst. et Kit. (Don’s Mill., ii p. 599.) is a native of Hungary; and, obviously, 
only a variety of C. Oxyacantha. _ ‘ 
C. kyrtéstyla Fing. (Don’s Miil., ii. p. 600.) is monogynous, with a curved style, as the name 
implies ; and seems only a variety of the common hawthorn. 
C. laciniata Dec. Prod., ii. p. 629., is a native of Sicily, with pinnatifid leaves, and white flowers ; 
said to Have been introduced in 1816, and to be allied to C. Axardlus ; but we know nothing of the 
lant. 
. C. levigata Dec. Prod., 2. p. 630., Méspiius levigata Poir., is a native of the Vosges. 
C. Poirettiana Dec. Prod., 2. p. 630., Méspilus linearis Pozr., has obovate leaves, somewhat lobed : 
its pative country is unknown; but, though it is said to have been introduced in 1810, we have not 
seen the plant. From the leaves being lobed, it is evidently different from the Méspilus linearis of 
the Jardin des Plantes, which is a synonymeof C. Cris-galli salicifodlia. ; 
C. pectinita Bose (Dec. Prod., ii. p.630.) is a native of Persia; said to be allied to C. tanaceti- 
fdlia; and, if so, it cannot be the same as C. Oxyacantha pectinata of Booth. 
C. trifoliata Bosc, C. quinquelobata Bosc, C. odorata Bosc, C. obovdta Bosc, C. flavéscens Bosc, 
C. flabellata Bosc, C. lucida latifolia Boll. Cat., and C. licida média Boll. Cat., are names to which ° 
no descriptions have been attached. 
App. iii. Alphabetical List of Sorts of Crate'gus in the Arbo- 
retum of Messrs. Loddiges, as given in their Catalogue, 16th 
edition, 1836; with some Additions, taken from the Names

logue ; referred to the Species and Varieties of Crate’gus as 
given in this Work. 
The use of this list is to assist persons who have purchased collections of 
Crate‘gus from Messrs. Loddiges, according to the names of the 15th and
