the whole length of the branches. A Japanese species,

10. S. Reevesiana, syn. S. corymbosa, 8. lanceolata, and 

 S. Cantoniensis. A glabrous shrub 3 or 4 feet high, with 

 small simple lanceolate trilobate and deeply-toothed leaves. 

 Flowers in terminal umbels,- white and showy, appearing in 

 early Summer. There is also a good double-flowered variety. 

 Japan. S. chamcedrifolia is an allied Japanese species with 

 smaller flowers and crenately-lobed leaves.

 equally pinnate leaves and large terminal panicles of white 

 flowers. Leaflets 11 to 21, sessile, ovate-lanceolate, coarsely ser- 

 rated, glaucous beneath. A native of the Himalayas, flowering 

 towards the end of September. 8. sorbifolia is a closely-allied

12. S. Dougldsii. An erect hand- 

 some shrub with simple oblong-lanceo- 

 late obtuse leaves., serrulate towards

 they are distinct enough in the culti- 

 vated plants.
