glabrous. Petioles channeled. Flowers with purplish petals, ; 
polygamous. Peduncles axillary. Branches and buds brown.

(Don’s Mill., iv. p. 57.) <A tree, native to Calabria and the 
Levant, &c., where it grows to the height of from 16 ft. to 20 ft. 
It flowers in April, and was introduced into Britain in 1697, 
where it attains the height of 30 ft. or 40 ft. What has been 
said of O. europz‘a may be considered as applicable to this 
which, we have no doubt whatever, is only a variety of it. 1069
