(Don’s Mill., iv. p. 45.) A shrub, from 10 ft. to 
15 ft. high; a native of the south of Europe. It 
was introduced in 1597, and flowers in May and 
June. The culture of this is similar to that of 
the preceding and following sorts. For exposed 
situations, in the central and southern districts 
.of England, few shrubs are better adapted than 
this kind of phillyrea. It grows slowly and re- 
gularly on every side; and in the course of a 
dozen years forms a dense evergreen bush, of some- 
what hemispherical shape, having naturally more = 
of a gardenesque character than belongs to any ‘ 
other species or variety of the genus. This sort, and P. angustifolia, are 
those most commonly to be met with in British nurseries.
