" It is about eleven years since the first plant of this new 

 evergreen was first brought to England by Dr. Wallich, and 

 placed in the garden of the Horticultural Society, under the 

 name of Cratee^gus glauca, by which it has been extensively dis- 

 tributed. In the neighbourhood of London, the species is 

 scarcely more hardy than a myrtle ; but it grows very well 

 against a wall where it is protected, and in such a situation it 

 flowers in the month of June. In warmer counties, I have no 

 doubt that it will form a valuable evergreen. The worst part of 

 its habit is its pushing early in the spring, which exposes it to 

 be damaged by frosts ; and this seems to happen to it in its 

 native country, if we can judge from the dried specimens dis- 

 tributed by the East India Company, all of which, when in 

 flower, evidently have their leaves injured by frost, or some such 

 accident. Its leaves are something like those of Photinia inte- 

 grifolia, with which it was mixed in Dr. Wallich's distribution 

 of dried specimens. Its serrated leaves will, however, readily dis- 

 tinguish it. It takes by budding or grafting upon the common 

 thorn, and may now be procured without difficulty in the nur- 

 series under the name of C'ratae^gus glauca." {Bot. Beg-.j May.)

Spec. Char. Leaves roundish or oblong, angular, inciso-ser- 

 rate, wedge-shaped at the base, on long footstalks. Divisions of 

 the calyx pinnatifid, glandular, as well as the petioles. Spines 

 axillary, curved, longer than the petioles. Pomes spherical, 

 corymbose, 3 — 4 stoned. Stones with a hard bony shell. [Lindl.)

The following adjustment of synonymes is given by Dr. 

 Lindley : — 



" C. glanduir)sa of Willdenow, De Candolle, and Loudon, is 

 the same species as C. coccinea of Linnaeus. 



" C. sanguinea of Pallas, referred to C. glandulosa by Will- 

 denow, De Candolle, and Loudon, is distinct from C. coccinea 

 in its want of glands upon the calyx and petioles, as well as in 

 its country and habit. 



" Cglandulosa of Aiton, referred by Willdenow, De Candolle, 

 and Loudon, to C. coccinea, miscalled glandulosa, is a totally 

 different species, and may be the name as C. spathulata." {Bot. 

 Beg., May.)
