The fecond Sort grows wild up- 

 on moft dry Banks and Hedge- 

 lides near London, 



CHAM^GERASSUS. Upright 

 Honey-fucklej 'vulgo. 

 The ChardHers are ; 



Jt is d Shrub growing upright to 

 the Height of eight or nine Feet i 

 Tvhofe Flowers confifi of one Leaf 

 •which of en towards the Top like two 

 Lips, fomewhat after the manner of 

 the Honey-fuckle. Thofe Flowers are 

 fucceeded by Berries fomewhat like 

 (mall Cherries j two of which are^ 

 for the jnofi party produced upon one 

 Fedicle. 



The Species are ,

Thefe Shrubs are very proper 

 Ornaments for Wildernefs Quarters, 

 to intermix with others which 

 are nearly of the fame Growth, 

 where, by the Diverfity of their 

 Leaves, and their regular Growth, 

 they appear very well. 



They are propagated by laying 

 their tender Branches, which in 

 one Year will have good Roots, 

 and may be fafely tranfplanted ei- 

 ther into Nurferies, or where they 

 are intended to remain. The bell 

 Seafon for this Work is in the 

 Spring, before they begin to flioot : 

 They may alfo be increased by 

 planting Cuttings in the Spring, 

 m an Eaft Border, where they may 

 be defended from the great Heat 

 of the Mid-day Sun, and carefully

water'd in dry Weather: Buttheih 

 will fcarcely have Roots fit to bear 

 tranfplanting in lefs than two Years j 

 and the Blue-berried kind is pretty 

 difficult to take Root from Cut- 

 tings ; therefore that fhould always 

 be propagated by Layers, if pofli- 

 ble j which in laying fhould be flit 

 at the Joint, as is done in laying 

 Carnations, which will greatly fa- 

 cilitate their ftriking out Roots. 



There are fbme other Species of 

 this Shrub in the curious Botanick 

 Gardens abroad, particularly in that 

 admirable Colleftion of Trees and 

 Shrubs in the Garden of the learned 

 Doftor BoerhaavCy near Leyden in 

 Holland, where, amongft a great 

 Variety of other uncommon Trees 

 (perhaps more than in any one 

 Garden in Europe, and which have 

 been all collected together at the 

 fole Expence of the worthy Pof^ 

 feffor) which that curious Gentle- 

 man was pleas'd to fhew me, I 

 obferv'd two or three Sorts of this 

 Tree which I had never before 

 feen. 



The firfl and fecond Sorts are of 

 quicker Growth than the t];ird, 

 and will, in a few Years, rife to 

 the Height of fix or feven Feet; 

 whereas the third feldom rifes above 

 four or five Feet high with us,

 The Characters are } 

 The shoots trail upon the Ground^
