This is siipjiosed by Dr. Lindley to be a mere variety of C. 

 flava, while Loudon, in his Jirboretum Britannicum, and De Can- 

 dolle, consider it as the true species. " It seems to be the 

 same as the C. turbinata of Pursh and ElUott; but the specific 

 phrase of these authors is insufficient to setde the question. 

 Undoubtedly C. flava of Elfiott was a misnomer; nor can the 

 summer liavv of the same writer, with oval, well flavored, fruit, 

 from sandy soil on the sea islands of Carolina, be referred to the 

 true C. flava, as he supposes. It forms a small tree, with a 

 rough bark similar to an elm, and with a compact spreading head. 

 In some parts it is spiny, in others wholly unarmed. It dif- 

 fers from C flava in nothing except its fruit, which appears soli- 

 tary instead of in clusters, and in its more sharply cut leaves.

Oxyacdntlia var. Oliveridna Liuill. syn : C. OUveridna Bosc. C. Oxyacantlia, T^o. 10. Loud. 

 Arh. Brit. Hairy -/furcii black fruited Hawtliorn. A hardy (?) small tree, supposed to be 

 a native of Asia Minor. Bot. Reg., 1933. 



A much showier and more desirable variety than the last. The 

 foliage is thick and handsome, and the branches are terminated 

 with very dense cymes of black haws or berries, which give the 

 tree a fine appearance. It has been supposed a species; but it 

 differs very little from the common hawthorn, except its oval 

 black haws and downy leaves. It is stated to be a native of Asia 

 Minor, but Dr. Lindley has never seen wild specimens. Mr. 

 Loudon, in his arrangement of this tribe, has assigned it as a 

 variety of the Oxyacantha, No. 10. Probably perfectly hardy 

 in our chmate. [Bot. Reg., Feb.) 



fl4va Be Ciind. Uou^h-barked Thorn. A hardy small tree ; with white sweet flowers. Bot. 

 Reg., 1939. 



This species, figured subsequently to the C. flava var. lobata, 

 is scarcely distinguishable from the latter variety. Both the C. 

 flava and its variety are two which are the least worth culti- 

 vating for their beauty. Their mode of growth is stiff and in- 

 elegant, their foliage not abundant nor deep colored, and the fruit 

 undistinguishable, at a short distance from the leaves it grows 

 among, it being of a similar color. It is a native of die Middle 

 and Southern States. {Bot. Reg., March.)

DAVIE'SM 

 ulicina XioH Furze-hie Daviesia. A green-house evergreen shrub ; growing from two to 

 three feet high ; with yellow and orange flowers ; appearing in April and Jlay ; propaga- 

 ted by cuttings; crown in loam and peat; a native of JN'ew South Wales. Pax. Mag. 

 Bot. 



A charming plant from New South Wales, which has been a 

 long time introduced into Britain, but is not yet, that we are 

 aware, in our gardens. The foliage is small, linear, ending in a 

 sharp point; the flowers are yellow, pencilled with a few deeper 

 stripes; they are axillary, solitary, on short peduncles, and pro- 

 duced in great numbers towards the extremities of the branches.
