 nently distinguishing characters between it and 

 V. Lenta-'o and T. /;runif61ium.

 scurfy dots. Corymbs sessile. Flowers white. Berries ovate, and bluish 

 black. (Don's Mi/L, iii. [). 440.) A native of North America, from New York 

 to Carolina, in swamps; where it forms a shrub growing to the height of 

 from 3 ft. to 3 ft. high, and flowering in Juue and July. It was introduced 

 in 1761; and, in British gardens, attains the height of 10 ft. or 12 ft.; 

 forming a handsome durable shrub, which increases slowly in size after it 

 is 5 ft. or 6 ft. high. There are plants in the Horticultural Society's 

 Garden, and at Messrs. Loddiges.
