No. 1077. 
RHAMNUS ALPINUS. 
Class, Order. 
PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of the Alps of Switzerland and 
Austria, also part of France and Piedmont. 
We received it, many years since, from our 
friend Baron Zois. It grows to the height 
of four or five feet, with many branches. 
The leaves are particularly beautiful, being 
of a fine glossy green, and marked with 
parallel lines in a peculiar manner. 
It is perfectly hardy, and will grow in 
any tolerable soil and situation. It may be 
increased without much difficulty by layers.
