XXVI. iJOSA^CE.E : CRATiE^GUS. 355 



f C. g. 3 snbvil/dsa, C. subvillosa Fisch., 

 (our fig. 636., and fig. 681. in p. 388.) 

 is apparently another variety of the pre- 

 ceding sort, or, perhaps, of C. coccinea. 

 It is very distinct in appearance, from 

 its villous twisted leaves, and stunted 

 tortuous shoots ; but, from its having 

 been only three or four years in the 

 country, very little is known of its habit 

 of growth, which seems to be rather 

 more loose than that of C. glaudulosa. 

 There are plants in the Horticultural 

 Society's Garden, and in Messrs. Lod- 

 diges's arboretum. 



Differs from the preceding sort in the stipules 

 and calyxes being glandular, and in the head of 

 the tree forming a dense mass of small twigs. 

 Being a small compact tree, of somewhat conical 

 or fastigiate habit, and of comparatively low 

 growth, and yet very prolific in flowers and fruit, 

 it is well adapted for small gardens ; and, being f^^. c. g. subyuicsa. 



at the same time full of branches and very spiny, 



it is better calculated than many other kinds of American Cratas^gus for forming 

 field hedges.
