No. 1701. 
BERBERIS GLUMACEA. 
Class. Order. 
HEXANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This interesting plant was first discovered 
by Mr. Menzies, at the mouth of the Colum- 
bia river, and is common in shady Pine fo- 
rests on the coast of the Pacific. Seeds of it 
were brought to the Horticultural Society 
by Mr. Douglas. Our plant flowered in 
the month of April: it had been kept in a 
greenhouse, but there seems to be good 
reason to believe that it will bear our cli- 
mate out of doors. It may be increased by 
cuttings or Jayers, and should be planted in 
loam and peat soil.
