No. 2. 
ARDISIA CRENULATA. 
Class. Order. 
PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of China, very lately introduced. 
It isa neat little shrub, producing flowers 
and fruit nearly the whole year round: we 
have plants not above three inches high guite 
loaded. It reguires the protection of the 
green-house, and is encreased both by seeds 
and cuttings:—soil, a mixture of loam and 
peat. The berries are by no means un- 
pleasant to the taste. In some of the 
species, they are said to be esteemed for their 
cooling and refreshing gualities.
