XIV. ESCULA‘CEZ: PAVIA. 133 
The leaves are large, glabrous on the upper surface, and shining. The branches 
are spreading and loose; and the whole tree has an open graceful appear- 
ance, quite different from that compactness of form and rigidity of branches 
which belong to most of the tree species and varieties both of .#’sculus 
and Pavia.

‘mgravings Bot. Reg., t. 310.; and our jig. 178. 
Spec. Char., §c. Leaflets 5, acuminate at both ends, tomentose beneath, un- 
equally serrulated. Raceme thyrsoid, many-flowered. Corolla of four con- 
niving petals, with their claws the length of the calyx. Stamens 7, shorter 
than the corolla. (Don’s Mill.) A deciduous tree-like shrub. Virginia and 
Georgia, in fertile valleys and on mountains. Height 3 ft. to 10 ft. In- 
troduced in 1812. Flowers variegated with white, yellow, and purple; 
May and June. Fruit brown; ripe in October. Decaying leaves yellowish 
brown. Naked young wood of a brownish stone-colour. 
The whole plant, including the young 
wood, is covered with pubescence. 
The flowers are large, showy, continu- 
ing a long time expanding, and nume- 
rous though they are but sparingly 
succeeded by fruit. When the plant 
is raised from seed, it is remarkable 
for its thick, fleshy, carrot-like roots, 
which, in free soil, penetrate perpendi- g 
cularly to the depth of 8 or 10 feet # 
before they branch. Unless when 
grafted on 4. Hippocdstanum, it is 
seldom seen above 4 or 5 feet in 
height; but it is a very free flowerer, 
and, considered as a shrub, is in May, 
when it is in flower, one of the most 
ornamental that the British arboretum 
affords.

(Dee. Prod.) A deciduous shrub, 
with numerous radicled shoots. South 
Carolina and Georgia. Height in Ame- 
rica 2ft. to 4ft.; in the climate of 
London 10 ft. to 15 ft. Introduced in 
1820. Flowers white, with long pro-
