LIGUSTRUM LUCIDUM. Aiton.' 



(Shining-leaved Privet.) 

 SYN. Ligustrum chinensis. Gardens. 



A handsome shrub, with large shining leaves and 

 white flowers, which are produced at the beginning of 

 autumn. A native of China, where it is found as a 

 tree fifteen or twenty feet high, which character may 

 be given to it in our gardens by training it to a single 

 stem. It does not retain the whole of its foliage 

 through the winter, except in the more favourable 

 parts of the country. 



LIGUSTRUM SEMPERVIRENS. 



(Italian or Evergreen Privet.) 



For neat hedges, or for undergrowth to plantations, 

 this species is well adapted ; for the latter purpose 

 especially, as it is not injured by the drip from other 

 plants. It is not a desirable shrub to associate with 

 others in the borders, as it soon encroaches beyond 

 the limits assigned it, by throwing up a quantity of 

 suckers.
