Mill.) Kamtschatka, ia dry rocky places. Height 3 ft. 
to 4 ft. Introduced in 1791. Flowers deep red; June 
and July. Fruit scarlet ; ripe in September. 
From the appearance of the plants bearing this name in 
the extensive collection in Messrs. Loddiges’s arboretum, 
we should consider it to be only a variety of FR. férox. 
It is, however, very distinct, and, from the rich colour of 
its flowers and fruit, well deserving a place in collections.
