differing little from those of P. rubra. The tree in the garden of the 

 London Horticultural Society, which, in 1834, was marked ^E'scir- 

 lus Pavi« parviflora, was then 15 ft. high, after having been 10 years 

 planted.

 Figured in Jl'afs. Demi., t. 120. Leaflets acutely serrated: in other 

 respects it differs little from the species. In 1823, plants of it were 

 in the Fulham Nursery, whence it was figured by Watson. The 

 plants in the same nursery named ^K'sculus Pav/a serrata (see 

 Gard. ]\Iag., vol. xi. p. 248.) appear to be the same sort.

 -<E'sculus humilis Lodd. The dtvaif r<'rf-flowered Pavia. — Figured 

 in the Botanical Begisfer, t. 1018. A diminutive, weak, straggling 

 form of the species, probably obtained from some sport, and which, 

 on its own root, is only a recumbent bush, from 2 ft. to 3 ft. in 

 height; but which, when grafted on the common horsechestnut, 

 forms the very beautifid pendulous low tree noticed below. A |)lant 

 of P. humilis, in the garden of the London Horticultural Society, 

 was, in 1834, 3 ft. high, after having been planted 7 years.

 — Figured in our Second Volume. This is not properly a variety, but 

 only a variation in form, produced by changing the position of the 

 plant by grafting. There is a very hamlsome low tree of it in the 

 arboretum at Messrs. Loddiges's, which continues flowering and 

 fruiting almost the whole summer. We consider this one of the 

 most beautiful and interesting forms of Pav/V/, and would recommend 

 horsechestiuit trees of 20 or 30 years' growth to be grafted all over 

 with it at the fioints of the shoots, care being taken afterwards, once 

 or twice in every year, to rub off all the butis from the stock as
