months of May and June, before any of the other species of the genus. 
The flowers smell like those of the orange, and the leaves taste like the fruit 
of the cucumber. Very little is known as to the native country of this species. 
In the Nouveau Du Hamel it is considered as indigenous to Switzerland; and 
Pallas is said to have found it in beech forests on Caucasus. In the time 
of Miller, it was unknown of what country it was a native. Clusius, who, 
in the sixteenth century, observed plants of it in Spain, Austria, and 
Hungary, says that he never found it any where in a wild state; and that 
it was introduced into these countries from Belgium, where it was first cul- 
tivated in Europe. It was known to the ancients, and cultivated by the 
Parthians in the same country where Pallas found it in a wild state. 
(See Apollodorus, book iv., as quoted in the Nouveau Du Hamel, i. p. 71.) 
It was first brought into notice, in modern times, by Bauhin ; and it is now, 
owing to the extreme hardiness of the plant, to be found in almost every 
garden from Lisbon to Naples, and from the Mediterranean to Stockholm and 
Petersburg. It is one of the few shrubs that can be used to decorate the 
gardens of the latter cities; though not without some protection during 
winter. In British gardens, it has been known since the time of Gerard, who 
had plants of it growing in his garden, “in the suburb of Holborne, in verie 
great plentie.” The flowers are used to give their perfume to pomatum. It 
will grow in almost any situation, whether open or shady; and it is easily 
propagated by division of the root, and by suckers, layers, or cuttings. The 
general mode of propagation, in British nurseries, is by taking up the plants, 
and dividing them.

perfectly entire, 3-nerved, usually feather-nerved- 
Flowers singly, or in threes. Style, at the very tip 
divided into 4 oblong stigmas. A native of South 
Carolina, upon the banks of rivers: veryrare. Re- 22> 
cent botanists do not find it in Carolina. (Dec. Prod., 
iii. p. 206.) Introduced into British gardens in 1738, 
and to be found in various collections. It isa some- 
what rambling shrub, not quite so high, nor alto- 
gether so hardy, as P. coronarius ; though it appears 
to be only a variety of that species. There are 
plants in the arboretum of Messrs. Loddiges, and 
in the Vauxhall Nursery, and they are easily re- 
cognised from every other sort, by having the leaves perfectly entire.

Spec. Char., §c. Not so tall as P.c. vulgaris. Leaves ovate, acuminate, ser- 
rately denticulate, rounded at the base, 3-nerved, hairy upon the veins be- 
neath. Inflorescence somewhat racemose. Flowers fewer and larger than 
in P. c. vulgaris, and scentless. Lobes of the calyx long, acuminate. Style 
deeply 4-cleft. A native of North America. It differs from P. c. vulgaris, 
chiefly in its leaves being rounded at the base, and in its flowers being fewer, 
larger, and scentless. (Dec. Prod., iii. p. 205.) There is a plant in the 
Horticultural Society’s garden.
