differing little from those of P. rubra. The tree in the garden of the 

 London Horticultural Society, which, in 1834, was marked .^'scu- 

 lus Pavia parviflora, was then 15ft. high, after having been 10 years 

 planted. 



P. r. 3 sublaciniata Wats. The slightly cMeaved red-flowered Pavia. 

 Figured in Wats. Dend., t. 120. Leaflets acutely serrated: in other 

 respects it differs little from the species. In 1823, plants of it were 

 in the Fulham Nursery, whence it was figured by Watson. The 

 plants in the same nursery named yjE'sculus Pavia serrata (see 

 Gard. Mag., vol. xi. p. 248.) appear to be the same sort. 



P. r. 4 humilis. P. humilis G. Don. in H. ., and in his Mill.; and 

 JS'sculus humilis Lodd. The dwarf ra/-flowered Pavia. Figured 

 in the Botanical Register, t, 1018. A diminutive, weak, straggling 

 form of the species, probably obtained from some sport, and which, 

 on its own root, is only a recumbent bush, from 2 ft. to 3 ft. in 

 height; but which, when grafted on the common horsechestnut, 

 forms the very beautiful pendulous low tree noticed below. A plant 

 of P. humilis, in the garden of the London Horticultural Society, 

 was, in 1834, 3 ft. high, after having been planted 7 years. 



P. r. 5 humilis pendula. The pendulous-branched dwarf red-flowered Pavia. 

 Figured in our Second Volume. This is not properly a variety, but 

 only a variation in form, produced by changing the position of the 

 plant by grafting. There is a very handsome low tree of it in the 

 arboretum at Messrs. Loddiges's, which continues flowering and 

 fruiting almost the whole summer. We consider this one of the 

 most beautiful and interesting forms of Pav/Vz, and would recommend 

 horsechestnut trees of 20 or 30 years' growth to be grafted all over 

 with it at the points of the shoots, care being taken afterwards, once 

 or twice in every year, to rub off all the buds from the stock as
