at the base of the hairs. Similar 
warts are, also, on the peduncles, 
pedicels, and calyxes. Inflorescence : 
racemose. Lobes of the calyx acu- 
minate. Style, at the very tip, 4-cleft. 
(Dec. Prod., iii. p. 206.) A native 
of North America. Introduced in 
1800, or before; and forming a vi- 
gorous-growing shrub, 8 ft. or 10 ft. 
high, or more, with young shoots twice 
the thickness of those of P. corona- 
rius, and having a somewhat more 
fastigiate habit. P. specidsus Schrad. 
appears to be only a variety of this 
species. When in flower, this sort 
and the two following makea splendid 
appearance; the plants, in fine seasons, being so entirely covered with bloom 
as scarcely to show the leaves. To give them a gardenesque character, they 
ought to stand singly, with abundance of room, and have all their suckers 
removed as they are produced, so as to leave each bush with only a 
single stem.

Orange.

nerved with about 5 nerves, and 
pubescent with hairs beneath. 
Flowers in racemes. Lobes of 
the calyx acuminate. Style 4-cleft 
at the very tip. A native of 
North America. It is distinguish- 
able by its bark being whitish ; and 
by its leaves, especially those of 
the younger branches, being more 
broadly ovate; and by the hairs 
they bear not being based by warts. 
(Dec. Prod., iii. p. 206.) There 
are plants in the Garden of the yw” 
London Horticultural Society,and 
in the arboretum of Messrs. Lod- 
diges ; and they appear to us to 
be nothing more than a variety of ne \ 
P. verrucosus. As a tolerably dis- 676 ay 
tinct variety, however, and as a splendid plant when in flower, it is well 
deserving of cultivation.
