1112 ARBORETUM ET FRUTICETUM BRITANNICUM. 



The following species will probably be very shortly introduced, and, indeed, 

 are perhaps already in a seedling state in the H. S. Garden : 



* 31. lanceoldtum. (B. lanceolatum Benth. PI. Hart. p. 34. No. 269.) Pin- 



nate, with long slender leaves, and 13 17 leaflets, very spiny, and of a 

 dark green. Mexico, on mountains, where it grows from 5 ft. to 6 ft. 

 high. Considered the handsomest of all the Mexican species. (G. M. 

 1840, p. 632.) 



it M. angustifolia. (B. angustifolia Hartw. Benth. PI. Hart. No. 270.) Re- 

 sembles RI. fascicularis, but is much smaller in all its parts. Leaflets 

 5 7, light green, and very spiny. Mexico, where it grows from 6 ft. to 

 8 ft. high, with purple fruit, sweet to eat. 



M. Hartwegn. (B. Hartwegii Benth. PI. Hart. No. 272.) Pinnate, with 

 11 15 leaflets, which are nearly double the size of those of M. Jquifo- 

 lium, and of the same light green as those of that species. Mexico. 

 Flowering in April.

* LiMo^NiA Laureola Wall. PI. As. Rar. t. 245., Royle Illust. vol. i. p. 343. 



The only species of this order found on the tops of cold and lofty moun- 

 tains in the Himalayas, where it is for some months buried under snow. 

 Raised in the H. S. Garden from seeds received from Dr. Royle in 1841, 

 and probably hardy enough to endure our winters against a wall. (G. M. 

 18i], p. 608.)

* 'Hype' RICUM rosviarinifol'mm Lam. Diet. ; Tor. and Gray, vol. i. p. 159. A 



pretty narrow-leaved species, from Kentucky, where it grows 2 ft. highj 

 flowering in July and August. {G. M. 1842, p. 13.)

A^CER Icevigdtum Wall. Plant. As. Rar. 2. p. 3. t. 104. ; Arb. Brit. 1st ed. 

 p. 431. Leaves undivided, oblong, acuminate, smooth, and shining. 

 Nepal, on high mountains, where it forms a tree 40 ft. high. Dr. Wallich 

 thinks it may prove hardy in England. H. S. (G. M, 1840, p. 632.) 



A. colchiciim Hartwiss. A very handsome and distinct plant, nearly allied 

 to A. platanoides Lobelii; but with the lobes of the leaves more pointed, 

 the bottom lobes lapping over the footstalk, then* texture thinner, and 

 their colour more glaucous than those of A. p. Lobehi. Abchasien ; 

 whence it was imported by Booth of Hamburg in 1838, and introduced 

 into England in 1840. (G. M. 1840, p. 6.32.) , 



A. colchicum var. rubrum Booth MS. From the beginning of the season 

 till late in autumn the leaves are of a bright pinkish purple. The bark 

 is brownish, while that of the species is of a pea-green, like the bark of 

 Negi'indo /raxinifolia. 



A. campcstre. Add as Varieties : " A. c. nihrls Booth : samaras red. A. 

 c. heterocdrpum : samaras variously formed." 



A. gldbnun Torr. and Gr. Flor. 1. p. 207. A shrub found in the Rocky 

 Mountains, with leaves nearly similar to those of the common currant in 

 size and shape. Not yet introduced. 



A. triparlitum Nutt. Torr. and (ir. Flora, 1. p. 247. A shrub found on 

 the Rocky Mountains, nearly allied to the preceding species, and, like it, 

 not yet introduced. 



A. grandidentdtinn Nutt. Torr. and Gr. Flora, 1. p. 247. {? A. barbatum 

 Dongl., not of Michx.) A bhrub or low tree from the Rocky Mountains, 

 with leaves smaller than those of A. saccharinum. Not yet intro- 

 duced.
