 Clethra arborea had stood for several years in the shrubbery at Carclew, 



but was very much injured this year. 

 Clematis cirrhosa was killed on an east wall in the Society's Garden. 

 Cercis Siliquastrum was uninjured, or very little affected, anywhere. 

 Cytisus (EoUctis, and Wcldeni, lived at Abbotsbury ; but the former was a 



little hurt. . _ _ 



Ceratonia Siliqua was uninjured at Owston, in a cold peach house, with 

 only the upper lights till the middle of January ; the leaflets and shoots of 

 last year were killed at Carclew. 

 Q.iiE^ovo'DWM fruticosum, a British species, was killed to the ground at Cam- 

 bridge, and near London. 

 Convolvulus althcsoides, and bri/onicefolms, were uninjured at Cambridge. 



Cneorum stood without damage at Abbotsbury. 

 CuPRESsus sempervircns, which was generally killed about London, was not 

 affected at Owston, At Belsay, young plants were mostly killed, but two 

 old ones, 16 or 18 feet high, escaped. Clusitanica was also killed in most 

 places, except Cornwall and Devonshire. 

 Cneorum tricoccum died at Cambridge. 

 CuAMiEROPS humilis survived the winter in the Glasnevin Garden, but was 



killed in that of the Society. 

 Cynara horrida was killed at Cambridge, together with C. Scolymus, the 

 common artichoJce, which was lost in almost all the gardens in the midland 

 and northern counties, if unprotected by litter. 

 Dianthus. The Smnian tree fhik, which had remained at Spofforth since it 

 was raised from seed, about 20 years ago, in a pot of pure sand in the most 

 exposed corner of the greenhouse, touching the front and side glass, was 

 killed. 

 CoRONiLLA glauca, which survives the winters readily in Cornwall and South 

 Wales, where it is cultivated as a common border shrub, and flowers 

 abundantly during the winter months, was either destroyed, or very much 

 injured. It perished at Spofforth under a verandah. 

 DoRYCNiUM hirsutmn perished in the Society's Garden. 



Daphne Laureola, a British plant, was much injured in the Society's Garden, 

 Cneorum suffered a little ; all the others died. But D. pojitica sustained no 

 damage at Liverpool, or Spofforth ; although it was damaged at Dropmore. 

 At Sketty and Penllargare none of the species were at all affected. D. 

 australis stood at Abbotsbury. 

 DiosPY'RUS Lotus was much injured in the Society's Garden. 

 Euphorbia melUfera proved quite hardy, and untouched, at Carclew. E. 



pithyusa, venetd, and rigida, lived at Abbotsbury. 

 Erica. The collections of hardy heaths suffered great loss. After the frost of 

 the 20th, the bushes were found shivered to pieces, as if they had received 

 a discharge of small shot; excepting in the south, they were either destroyed 

 or killed to the ground; even E. vagans, the Cornish heath, must be included 

 in this list, E. australis, however, suffered but little at Brenchley, and 

 stood undamaged at Carclew, Abbotsbury, and Liverpool, but it perished in 

 most other places. Large bushes of E. mediterranea, in the shrubbery at 

 Calderstone, were very much broken and disfigured by the snow, but none 

 of them were killed. At Sketty, large plants of mediterranea in exposed 

 situations suffered greatly, but striata escaped without material damage. E. 

 arborea was killed to the ground at Woburn, but remained unhurt at 

 Abbotsbury, Penrice, Penllargare, and some other places in the neighbour- 

 hood. E. scoparia escaped at Spofforth, and umbellata at Abbotsbury. 

 Figs, unless against walls, were killed to the ground in all the midland and 

 northern counties, but experienced no injury in Devon and Cornwall. 

 Plants, 10 or 12 years old, were killed to the ground at Belsay, in the same 

 situation with a plant of the scarlet variety of Arbutus Unedo, which was
