VI. BERBERACEE : BE'RBERIS. 45 
(Don's Mill.) A deciduous shrub, crowded with shoots. Crete, Candia, 
and, perhaps, Japan, Height 3 ft. to 4ft. Introduced in 1759. Flowers 
yellow ; May and June. Berries ovate, black; ripe in September. De- 
caying leaves whitish yellow. Naked young wood also whitish. 
The leaves are produced without any obvious order; they are small, and in 
their shape they resemble those of the narrow-leaved variety of the common 
box. The berries are ovate, black, 2-seeded, more astringent than acid; 
stigma on a very short style.

difference.
