This is a native of the East and South of 
Europe; Pallas found it also near the Cas- 
pian Sea: the E. Orientalis figured by him 
in Flora Rossica, without flowers, is pro- 
bably nothing more than the lower branches 
of the same plant, which never produce 
any; and are so totally different from the 
upper in leaf and growth, that no one who 
had not seen them both on one tree, could 
suppose them the same. 
It grows to the height of twelve feet or 
more, and is quite hardy, and very orna- 
mental: the flowers come out in June 
and July; their odour when too near is 
unpleasant. 
It may be increased easily by layers, and 
will grow in any common garden soil.
