CHAP. XLII. ROSACEA. PY‘RUS. 925 
Horticultural Society, have upright slender 
branches; glabrous green leaves, somewhat 
like those of the elder; and small black fruit, 
like those of P. arbutifolia. It is a very dis- 
tinct kind, and well deserves a place in col- 
lections. It is probably the same as P. 
sambucifolia of Cham. in Linn., ii. p. 36., and 
of Don’s Mill., ii. p.648., which is stated 
to be a native of Kamtschatka. There are 
fine specimens of this tree in the Horticul- 
tural Society’s Garden, and one at Syon 
which is 12 ft.-high. In the Bot. Reg., t. 1196., 
it is stated that the figure of this species in 
Watson is by no means that of P. sorbifdlia, 
but is that of P. pinnatifida ; but this appears 
to us a mistake, since P. pinnatffida has red 
fruit, and the figure in Dendrologia has black fruit, with the leaves answering 
to the specific description given above, and to the plants under this name 
in the Horticultural Society’s Garden, and at Messrs. Loddiges. 

Variety. 
¥ P. s. 2 péndula Hort., Sérbus hybrida péndula Lodd. Cat., P. spiria 
sambucifolia Hort. Brit., and the plate of this sort in our Second 
Volume, has pendulous shoots, and is a very distinct and most inte- 
resting kind. There are fine low trees of it in the Horticultural So- 
ciety’s Garden; and, if grafted 10 ft. or 12 ft. high, instead of only 
3 ft. or 4 ft., as it is there, it would form one of the most beautiful 
of pendulous trees. It is prolific in flowers, and dark purple fruit ; 
and the leaves die off of an intensely dark purplish red. 
App. i. Additional Species of Pyrus belonging to the Section 
Sorbus. 
P. folioldsa Wall. Cat., p.677.; Pl. Asiat. Rar., 2. p. 81., t.189.; is a tree growing to the height of 
20 ft., with pinnate leaves, and elliptic-lanceolate, mucronate, leaflets, pubescent beneath ; with white 
flowers, succeeded by small roundish red fruit. 
P. hirctna Wall. Cat., p. 675., and Don’s Mill., 2. p. 648., is a native of Nepal, with pinnate leaves, 
and numerous leaflets, rusty beneath ; with red fruit, about the size of those of the common mountain 
ash. 
Other Sorts. There are some other names in the nursery catalogues, which are probably synonymes 
to some of the preceding sorts ; but, at all events, we can make no use of them here ; the species and 
varieties of this section being, as we have already observed, in a state of great confusion. 
§ vil. Adendrachis Dec. 
Sect. Char. Petals spreading, each with a claw, and a concave limb. Styles 
2—5. Pome globose. Leaves simple, the midrib bearing glands on its 
upper surface (which is the character expressed in the sectional name). 
Flowers in branched corymbs. Deciduous shrubs, natives of North 
America; growing to the height of 4ft. or 5 ft., and prolific in flowers, 
followed by red, dark purple, or black, fruit. They are all readily 
propagated by division, by suckers, or by grafting on the common hawthorn. 
This section is so unlike the others in habit and general appearance, that 
it would be much more convenient to have it as a distinct genus ; say 
Aronia, as it was before the change referred to in p. 879.
