PYRUS POLLVERIA. 
Class. Order, 
ICOSANDRIA PENTAGYNIA. 
This is a native of Germany. Itis repre- 
sented by John Bauhin, in his Historia, 
who first noticed it, and calls it most beauti- 
ful and rare: he met with it in the garden 
of a Baron Pollwill, in Alsatia. We re- 
ceived it many years since from Vienna. 
The leaves are downy, and the flowers 
come out in May; they are sometimes suc- 
ceeded by fruit, which is not unpleasant in 
taste. | 
It may be increased by budding on the 
white thorn, and being perfectly hardy, 
may be planted in any soil or situation.
