1202 ARBORETUM AND FRUTICETUM. PART III. 
affords a kind of 
waxy matter. (Don’s 
Mill., iv. p. 45.) A 
tree, from 10ft. to 
20 ft. high, a native 
of China. It was in- 
troduced in 1794, and 
flowers profusely in 
September and Oc- 
tober. This species 
forms a very hand- 
some low subever- 
green tree; or, when 
it is not trained to a 
single stem, a large 
showy bush. There 
are good specimens 
of it, as trees, be- 
tween 10 ft. and 12 ft. 
high, in the Fulham 
and Brompton Nur- 
series; and,as shrubs, 
in the Horticultural 
Society’s Garden,and 
in Messrs. Loddiges’s ean = 
arboretum. There is aremarkably fine specimen in the Duke of Marl- 
borough’s private garden at Blenheim; and there are some, also, at White 
Knights. It is propagated by layers, or by grafting 
on the common privet. Price of plants, in the 
London nurseries, from Is. to 1s. 6d. each. 
Variety. 
@ 2 L. /. 2 floribindum Donald’s Cat. has larger — 
bunches of flowers than the species. 
L. salicifolium. A plant to which this name might 
be suitable has been in the arboretum at Kew since «< 
1823. It was raised from a withe, which had been/ 
tied round a package of plants, received from the 
Cape of Good Hope in that year, by Mr. Smith. 
It bears a close general resemblance to the common 
privet, but differs from it in having the leaves much 
larger, and the flowers in large compound spikes, 
like those of Z. lucidum. The leaves, in form, 
colour, and texture, closely resemble those of the 
plants alluded to in the following appendix, as having 
been raised by Messrs. Loddiges from Kamaon seeds. 
The plant is quite hardy, and retains its foliage the 1024 
greater part of the winter. It flowers freely every year, but has not yet 
ripened seeds.
