EVERGKEEN ORNAMENTAL TREES. Sll 



trailing shrub, scarcely rising above the height of four or 

 six feet, though the branches extend to a considerable 

 distance. In foliage, berries, etc., it so strongly resembles 

 the European plant, that many botanists consider it only a 

 dwarf variety. The leaves are nevertheless shorter and 

 narrower, and the male flowers always solitary. It is 

 found in shady, rocky places, in the Highlands, and various 

 other localities from Canada to Virginia
