particularly effective displayed in large vases. Our illustration of 
B. Davidi was made from a plant which has been in the fruticetum 
of the Garden since 1903. The plant is readily propagated by seeds, 
or by cuttings of the old or new wood. 
This species was among the plants sent from the mountains of 
central China to the garden of the Paris Museum, in 1869, by Pére 
Armand David, a Lazarist missionary, and was described with 
others of Pére David’s plants by Franchet in 1888. Previous to 
this latter year it had also been found by Dr. A. Henry, whose 
herbarium is preserved in the New York Botanical Garden. In 
this collection is a specimen collected by him in the province of 
Hupeh.
