228 ARBORETUM ET FRUTICETUM BRITANNICUM. 
A most beautiful species when in flower ; but, when out of flower, of a gloomy 
ashy hue. The trunk is disfigured by the old ragged bark, whence the 
vernacular name. It is truly astonishing, Mr. Webb observes, that this splendid 
European plant, of almost arboreous stature, with spikes of flowers sometimes 
a foot in length, should so long have escaped detection. It closely resembles 
A, hispanicus, but, according to Mr. Webb, it is “ very entirely distinct.” Plants 
are, or soon will be, in the Milford Nursery.

A very handsome species, and one that is much admired 
for its fine terminal spikes of flowers, which, in favour- \ +9 
able seasons, and in a dry soil, ripen abundance of seeds. 370. A intermadius.

It well deserves a place in British gardens; 
where, when judiciously treated, it will, owing to 
the moisture of our climate, attain double the 312. A 
height that it does in the South of France. paras
