This, according to Pursh, is a native of 

 dry woods, on the rocky banks of rivers, 

 from North Carolina to Florida. It is a 

 small tree, growing there to the height of 

 twenty feet. 



With us it is quite a low shrub, and is 

 frequently injured by our winters, which 

 are sometimes too severe for it. It is 

 evergreen, and flowers in July. We have 

 hitherto found it difficult to increase, as it 

 has not produced any ripe fruit. The soil 

 should he peat and loam.
