1460 The Trees of Great Britain and Ireland 



Ralegh, produce flowers and fruit abundantly ; but I am not aware that seedlings 

 have been raised. In the pinetum at Uplyme, Dorset, there is a remarkably fine 

 specimen with a single stem, which was 40 ft. high and 3 ft. 4 in. in girth, when I 

 saw it in July 191 2. At Abbotsbury this species is represented by a shrubby 

 plant, 4 ft. high and 4 ft. across. At Bury Hill near Dorking there is a tree 

 about 20 ft. high. 



Bean 1 saw in 1907 a specimen, about 12 ft. high, at Ochtertyre in Perthshire. 



The only specimens that we know of in Ireland are a spreading bush at 

 Rostrevor, where, Sir John Ross-of-Bladensburg informs us, it was planted in 

 1891; and two bushy trees, about 20 ft. high, which Elwes saw at Kilmacurragh 

 in 1908. (A. H.)
