162 ARBORETUM ET FRUTICETUM BRITANNICUM, 
Spec. Char, §c. Leaves ovate-lanceolate, sharply 
serrated, flat ; the midribs, petioles, and branch- 
lets glabrous. The flowers upon lateral corym- 
bosely branched peduncles. (Dec. Prod.) An 
evergreen shrub. Lower Carolina to Florida, 
in shady swamps. Height 6 ft. to 10 ft. Intro- 
duced in 1700. Flowers white; August. Drupe 
red; ripe in December. 
The fruit is rather smaller than that of the com- 
mon holly ; it continues on the trees the most part 
of the winter, untouched by birds ; and, being of a 
bright red, and large in proportion to the leaves, 
which are about the size of those of the common 
arbutus, the plant makes a fine appearance, both in 
its native country and in England. Commonly pro- 
pagated by seeds ; but it will also strike by cuttings, or it may be grafted on 
the common holly.
