partakes of that quality. The tree is of less vigorous growth than 2. 
rubicinda; and the shoots take a more upright direction. Jt appears to 
lose its leaves sooner than most of the other sorts. There is a tree of 
it in the London Horticultural Society’s Garden. Plants, in the London 
nurseries, cost 3s. 6d. each.

twice as long as the corolla. Flowers greenish yellow or whitish. A native 
of North America, in the forests of Kentucky, introduced in 1812. This 
sort so closely resembles 4. glabra as to leave no doubt in our mind of its 
being essentially the same. It is of somewhat more robust growth, and the 
leaves are, perhaps, not quite so smooth. The tree in the Horticultural 
Society’s Garden, in 1834, measured 12 ft. in height, after having been 8 
-years planted; the diameter of the trunk was 34in., and of the head 7 ft.

Plants of this species, or variety, are in the garden of the London Horticul-| 
tural Society; but they are so small, that it is difficult to say what they will 
ultimately prove to be. 
App. i. Other Sorts or Varieties of FBsculus. 
In consequence of this genus ripening its seeds freely, and admitting of cross-fecundation with the 
genus Pavia, several varieties have, within these few years, been raised by British cultivators ; and, 
indeed, there seems no limit to the number which may be raised by these means. In the Fulham 
Nursery are, Whitley’s fine scarlet, which seems little, if at all, different from 4. rubicinda; A. 
americana, which also differs little from . rubicGnda ; and several other varieties, which will be 
noticed in our appendix to the genus Pavia. (See Gard. Mag., vol. xi. p. 248.) _In the garden of the 
London Horticultural Society are the following names :— 7. H. incisum, JE. H. pre‘cox, AB. H. tor- 
tudsum, and /&. H, nigrwm ; but the plants to which they are applied are all quite small and young. 
It may be worth while to remark, that purchasers of the different varieties should always take care
