 acuminate,denticulate, pubescent with 

 hairs beneath, and bearing beneath, 

 upon the midrib arid primary veins, 

 warts at the base of the hairs. Similar

 {Dec. Prod.) A large vigorous-grow-

 America, or possibly a garden pro- 

 duction. Height 8 ft, to 10 ft. Culti- 

 vated in 1800, or before. Flowers 

 white ; May and June. Fruit brown; 

 ripe in September. 



Young shoots twice the thickness of those of P. coronarius, and having ai 

 somewhat more fastigiate habit. When in flower, this sort and the two fol- 

 lowing make a splendid appearance , the plants, in fine seasons, being so 

 entirely covered with bloom as scarcely to show the leaves.
