Distinct. Char. §c, This tree is upwards of 20 ft. high ; and that in the garden of 
the London Horticultural Society, was, in 1834, 12 ft. high, after having been 
8 years planted. This sort appears to us to be intermediate between some 
variety of 4’sculus Hippocastanum and Pavia rtbra. The leaves are large, 
- smooth on the upper surface, and shining. The flowers are nearly as large as 
those of the common horsechestnut, but with the petals less spreading, and of 
a pale red colour mixed with yellow. The branches are spreading and loose; 
and the whole tree has an open graceful appearance, quite different from 
that compactness of form and rigidity of branches which belong to most 
of the tree species and varieties both of 42’sculus and Pavia. This sort can 
scarcely be said to be in cultivation in the nurseries, notwithstanding its 
claims to a place in every collection of ornamental trees.
