 106. A small tree, with copious, opposite, round, pliant, mealy 

 branches. Under side of leaves and branches white from mealy 

 down. Berries compressed in an early state, red on the outer 

 side, yellow on the inner, finally black, with a little mealy astrin- 

 gent pulp. Seed large, flat, and furrowed. The leaves turn 

 of a dark red in autumn. This shrub is hardly worth cultivat- 

 ing for ornament, nor is it of any particular use, except that the 

 bark serves to make bird-lime ; but that of the holly is much 

 better. It is supposed to be the viburnum of Virgil. The 

 name lantana is from lento to make pliant, on account of the 

 pliant branches.

 more humble growth, and the leaves larger and tomentose.
