from its broad shining leaves, and its large red pendulous fruits, with orange- 
coloured seeds, which, when the capsules open, are suspended from the célls 
somewhat in the manner that the seeds of the magnolias hang from their 
strobiles. Even the wood of this species, during winter, is much handsomer 
than that of any other, the branches being regularly divaricate, with a clean 
bark, of a reddish green, and with long pointed dark brown buds; by which 
alone this species,may be distinguished from all the others. Unfortunately 
for this species, it is generally treated as a shrub, and crowded among other 
shrubs or trees ; so that it is never allowed a chance of attaining either its 
full size or its proper shape.
