PhotInia, Lindley. From photeinos, shining ; 

 in reference to the leaves. Linn. 12, Or. 2, 

 Nat. Or. Pomacece. A very handsome genus 

 of trees, with fine, bright, glossy leaves, and 

 corymbs of white flowers. The species re-

 weather. ' They thrive best if planted in a 

 mixture of loam and peat against a wall, in a 

 warm situation ; ripened cuttings put in sand, 

 under a glass, will root readily ; they may 

 also be grafted or inarehed on the different 

 species of Pyrus, or Mispilus. In Nepal, they 

 use the bark of P. dub la for dyeing scarlet.
