MY SHRUBS 23 



Buddie, whose herbarium of British plants is still preserved, and 

 whose name the august Ray not seldom mentions in his 

 " Synopsis." 



Bupleurum fruticosum, from Spain, is a good evergreen that will 

 bring forth its yellow umbels anywhere. The sea-green leaves 

 are a pleasant colour, and the plant I think quite worth a corner 

 in even a small collection. 



The Box is not a popular shrub as a specimen, but Buxus 

 Handsworthii makes a good little tree with foliage considerably 

 larger than most of the genus.
