$ M'scuLUS (H.) ruUcunda, p. 126., was thus originated. M. Michaux 

 received, in 1812, seeds of Vkvia from North America, which were sown 

 by M. Camuzet in the Paris Garden ; and amongst the plants which came 

 up was one different from all the others, which is the ^. rubicunda of 

 British Gardens. It flowered in three years, that is, in 1815. {Hort. 

 Beige, 1836, p. 97.) 



Capparida^ce^. Arb. Brit., 1st ed., vol. i. p. 313. 



'i Iso' MERis arborea 'Nutt. Torr. and Gr. Flora, 1. p. 124.; Bot. Mag. n. ser. 

 t. 3842. A low tree from California, with a long taproot, and a very 

 spreading head. The stem is about the thickness of a man's arm, very 

 knotty, and the wood hard and yellow. Leaves 3-foliolate, lanceolate, 

 mucronulate, glabrous. Flowers large, yellow, in terminal racemes. H. S. 

 (G. M. 1S42, p. 13.)

1 VtTis parvifdlia Royle's Illust. p. 145. A very curious species of vine, 

 from elevated situations in the Himalayas, with exceedingly small leaves 

 for the family to which it belongs. Tooting Nursery. {G. M. 1842, 

 p. 13.) 



1 V. heterophylla Sieb. ? A beautiful and very desirable climber, from Japan, 

 with variegated leaves. Probably the Fitis heterophylla of Thunberg, a 

 native of Java. Mr. Gordon thinks it is nearly related to 6'issus antarc- 

 tica, but with the leaves much more jagged and variegated with white. 

 It produces small blue fruit in clusters, which are very ornamental. 

 Tooting Nui-sery. (G. M. 1842, p. 13.)

t Vlex kquifoUum. Add as a Variety : ^' \. K. pendulum. Avery remark- 

 able variety, with shoots as decidedly pendulous as those of Sophbra 

 japonica pendula. The original tree is in a private garden in Derby, from 

 which it has been propagated by Mr. Barron at Elvaston Castle. 



t I. Perado, p. 161. Plants raised from seeds of this species in the Edin- 

 burgh Botanic Garden resemble so much, in all respects, those of the 

 common holly, as to leave no doubt in our mind as to their being one 

 and the same species. (G. M. 1842.) 



I. latifolia Hort. (? I. /aurifolia Hort.) A splendid hardy evergreen 

 shrub from Japan. Leaves large, oval, sometimes 9 in. long. Intro- 

 duced from the Continent in 1841, and quite hardy. (Gr^. M. 1842, 

 p. 13.)

^ * Ceano^THUS veluihnts, p. 181., is now introduced. C. a. 2 intermedius, Mr. 

 Gordon considers should be C. a. 2 var. pdlUdus. 



^ Hha'mnus WicMius Jacquin. Resembles 7?. infect6rius,but has larger leaves. 



It was raised in 1839 in the H. S. Garden, from seeds received from 



Dr. Fischer, and is quite hardy. 

 ^ R. prunifolius Booth (not of Smith, p. 178.). Alow shrub from North 



America which has not yet flowered. 



AnacardiaYe^. Page 184. 



Hi DUFAU'A longifolia Hort. Raised in 1839 in the Clapton Nursery, from 

 seeds received from Chili. It is very distinct, with long bright green 

 leaves, and it is hardier than any other species of the genus. (G. M. 

 1840, p. 632.)
