Garrya (Garrya elliptica, Natural Order, 

 Cornaceae) is a hardy evergreen shrub — the flowers 

 of which are pendulous catkins. The shrubs are 

 dioecious (that is to say, there are male and female 

 trees), and grow in ordinary soils, if well drained, 

 and outdoors against a south or west wall in the 

 South of England. The male shrub is only cul- 

 tivated, the female plant is rarely seen in 

 gardens.
