at the base of the hairs. Similar ^ 075 



warts art-, also, on the peduncles, 

 pedicels, ami calyxes. Inflorescence 

 racemose. Lobes of the calyx acu- 

 minate. Style, at the very tip, 4-cleft. 

 (Dec. Prod., iii. p. 906. J A native 

 of North America. Introduced in 

 1800, or before; and forming a vi- 

 gorous-growing shrub, 8 ft. or 10ft. 

 high, or more, with young shoots twice 

 the thickness of those of P. corona- 

 rius, and having a somewhat more 

 tastigiate habit. P. speciosus Schrad. 

 appears to be only a variety of this 

 species. When in flower, this sort 

 and the two following make a splendid 

 appearance ; the plants, in fine seasons, being so entirely covered with bloom 

 as scarcely to show the leaves. To give them a gardenesque character, they 

 ought to stand singly, with abundance of room, and have all their suckers 

 removed as they are produced, so as to leave each bush with only a 

 single stem.

Orange.

Spec. Char.,$c. Bark whitish. Leaves 



broad-ovate, acuminate, toothed, 



nerved with about 5 nerves, and 



pubescent with hairs beneath. 



Flowers in racemes. Lobes of 



the calyx acuminate. Style 4-cleft 



at the very tip. A native of 



North America. It is distinguish- 

 able by its bark being whitish ; and 



by its leaves, especially those of 



the younger branches, being more 



broadly ovate ; and by the hairs 



they bear not being based by warts. 



(Dec. Prod., iii. p. 206.) There &. 



are plants in the Garden of tne ^/<SJ 



London Horticultural Society, and' ^M 



in the arboretum of Messrs." Lod- 



diges ; and they appear to us to 



be nothing more than a variety of 



P. verrucosus. As a tolerably dis- 

 tinct variety, however, and as a splendid plant when in flower, it is well 



deserving of cultivation.

 or Mock Orange.

 mose. Flowers 5 7, showy, slightly scented. Lobes of the calyx long 

 and acuminate. Style 4-cleft at the very tip. (Dec. Prod., iii. p. 205.) A
