LIVES OF TRAVELLERS 



The chief results to gardens from this long tour were, the 

 distribution of the large-fruited Winter-cherry (Physalis 

 Francheti), the variety of Cerasus pseudo-cerasus known as 

 James H. Veitch, and the re-introduction of the large- 

 leaved Vine (Vitis Coignetiae) from Japan. 



Rhododendron Schlippenbachii, discovered some forty years 

 earlier on the Corean coast by a Russian collector, was also 

 introduced, and other plants rare in cultivation.
