TREES AND SHRUBS DECIDUOUS 



EUBUS CHEOOSEPALUS, Focke. 



Hooker's Ic. PI. t. 1952. 



A species discovered by Dr. A. Henry, and later introduced to cultivation 

 from Central China in 1900 . 



It is a simple-leaved species, the leaves aptly compared by Dr. W. 0. 

 Focke, the author of the specific name, to those of Tilia alba. 



The flowers in a lax panicle are remarkable in having the inner surface 

 of the reflexed sepals coloured compensation for the want of petals. 



RUBUS CONDUPLICATA, Duthie. 



A new species from the Province of Hupeh, Central China, through 

 Wilson, who sent seed in 1900. 



Simple-leaved with trilobate leaves, dark green on the upper surface, 

 white beneath with pinkish veins : the wood covered with a thick waxy 

 white substance gives the plant a distinctly ornamental appearance. 



The white flowers are not sufficiently showy to be of value from a 

 horticultural standpoint. 



EUBUS COEEANUS, Miq. 



Moore in Jour, of Bot. 1875, p. 230; Jour. Linn. Soc. vol. xxiii. (In. PI. S.), p. 230. 



An erect-growing bush, native of the Corean Archipelago and Central 

 China, introduced to cultivation from Hupeh. 



The stems are covered with a conspicuous waxy white covering ; the 

 leaves pinnate, with 2 to 3 pairs of pinnae and a terminal rhomboid 

 leaflet, dark metallic green in colour, pale green beneath. 



The fruit varies in colour from red to yellow and black. 



EUBUS FLAGELLIFLOEUS, Focke. 



A handsome Eubus found in the mountain woods of Central China : 

 a strong-growing plant with long whip-like growths 6 to 8 ft. in length, 

 bearing white flowers, which suggested the specific name. 



The leaves handsome, cordate, acuminate, have an irregularly serrate 

 margin. In the shade the leaves are beautifully marbled on the upper 

 surface, as in certain forms of Eex Begonia ; the under surface covered 

 with a thick cream- or dun-coloured tomentum, as is the wood of the 

 young growth. 



EUBUS HYPAEGYEUS, Focke. 



This handsome Chinese bramble has trifoliate leaves of a peculiar 

 metallic lustre on the upper surface, covered beneath with a white felt-like 

 tomentum.
