Art. III. Report on the netv Species and Varieties of Hardy Trees 

 and Shrubs, raised in the Horticultural Society's Gardens since the 

 Completion of the MS. of the " Arboretum Britannicum." Drawn

Berbera'cEjS. — Berberis tenuifolia Lindl., Bet. Reg. Mis- 

 cell., No. cxxi. Syn. Mahonm sp., Arh. Brit., p. 308. Plants 

 of this very beautiful evergreen shrub were raised from seeds sent 

 to the Society by M. Hartweg, the Society's collector in Mexico. 

 The leaves are pinnate, entire, and quite smooth, on very long 

 slender footstalks; the plants are, probably, about as hardy as 

 Berheris dealbata or B. fascicularis, and form one of the most 

 interesting introductions since that of Berberis ^quifcMium. 



^CERA^'CE^. — A^cerhyrcdnum Fischer. A distinct species of 

 T^^'cer introduced by the Society, from the Botanic Garden at St. 

 Petersburg. It seems intermediate between A. campestre and 

 A. ib^ricum, and quite hardy. 



Also the following acers were raised from seeds presented to 

 the'_Society : — A. obtusifolium Baron Jacquin, Arb. Brit., p. 430. 

 A. obtusatum Baron Jacquin, Arb. Brit., p. 430., A. ibericum 

 Dr. Fischer, Arb. Brit., p. 431. 



CoRiA^CEiE. — Corim-ia nipalense Wallich. Plants of this 

 curious shrub were raised from seeds presented to the Society by 

 Capt. Morse Cooper. 



? Celastra^ce^. — Geblera. siiffruticosa Fischer. This small 

 shrub resembles in habit jEuonymus obovatus, Arb. Brit. 501., 

 and is only fit for planting on rockwork. It was raised from 

 seeds presented to the Society by Dr. Fischer. 



J?HAMNA^CE^. — Khd?n7ms Pallds'n Fischer. Plants of this 

 species were raised from seeds received from the Botanic Garden, 

 St. Petersburg. They seem very distinct, resembling, in their 

 present young state, the narrow-leaved variety of li. Erythro- 

 xylon, Arb. Brit., p. 534. 



R. subsempervlrens of Messrs. Booth seems to be the same 

 as R. hybridus. 



^QUiFOLiAVEiE. — /'Icx ciliata Booth is Pies. ^quifcMium 

 recurvum, Arb. Brit., 506., and Hort. Lig., 20. 



Legumino^s^ § ZvO^'EiE. — Cytisus Weldhm Strangxsoays. The 

 Society is indebted to the Hon. W. F. Strangways for the seeds 

 from which the plants were raised. It seems a strong free- 

 growing species, having, in its present young state, a great re- 

 semblance to the purple laburnum.
