petioles, and nerves of leaves clothed 
with powdery tomentum. Corymbs 
terminal, almost sessile. Fruit ovate. « 
(Don’s Mill., iii. p.441.) The outer [© 
flowers of the corymbs are abortive \\\ 
and radiant ; a circumstance, as Sir W. 
J. Hooker observes, noticed by few 4 
botanists. The berries are at first red, maa” : ‘ 
but at length become black. In North America, it is known by the name 
of hobble bush. It is very like V. Lantana, but is of more humble growth, 
and the leaves are larger, and tomentose. A shrub, a native of North 
America, from Canada to Carolina, principally in the forests called Beech 
Woods, about Quebec and Lake Huron; and flowering in June and July. 
In general appearance, it so closely resembles V. Lantana, as to leave little 
doubt in our minds of its being only a variety of it. There are plants in 
the Horticultural Society’s Garden, and in Messrs. Loddiges’s arboretum.

Spec. Char., §c. Leaves ovate, somewhat cordate at the base, crenately ser- 
rated, beset with stellate down, as well as the branchlets. Corymbs dicho- 
tomous, few-flowered. Corollas tubular, somewhat funnel-shaped, bluntly 
5-toothed. Berry 5-seeded (ex Pail., ed. 1.); 1-seeded, at first red, but at 
length becoming black and sweet (ex Pail., ed. 2.). Allied to V. Lantana. 
Flowers yellowish white. (Don’s Mill., iii. p.443.) A shrub, growing to 
the height of from 6 ft. to 8 ft.; a native of Dahuria, and introduced in 
1785. There are plants in the Horticultural Society’s Garden, and in the 
arboretum of Messrs. Loddiges.

tomentum on both surfaces, grey beneath, as well as the branches. Corymbs

a native of Nepal, at 788

common in the Hima- 
layas, at the height of 
from 5000 ft. to 7000 _,

ducedinto British gar- 4 
dens in 1832, or be- ae 
fore; and flowering in Zj 
the Horticultural So- 
ciety’s Gardenin April 77 
and May. In general 2/7 
appearance it closely 
resembles V. Lantana; 
but the flowers are 
much larger, and more 
tinted with pink ; and neither flat nor bell-shaped, but of a distinct obconical 
figure. (Bot. Reg., t.1650.) Notwithstanding these points of difference, 
we still think it only a variety of V, Lantana.
