1. V. Timus (fig. 118). Lau- 
restine or Laurustinus. — This 
needs no further comment than 
to mention that there are several 
varieties in cultivation, differ- 
ing in the size and hairiness, or 
in the lighter or darker tint of 
the foliage. The variegated form 
is by no means desirable. The g 
ordinary form is perhaps the © 
most free-flowering. The variety 
stricta, with very dark foliage, is 
perbaps a little hardier than the 
common one, though neither so 
graceful nor so free-flowering. 
It ig a native of the South of 
Europe, and the only evergreen 
species generally cultivated.
