XXV1. ROSA‘CEZ: CRATE ‘GUS. $55 
# C. g. 3 subvilldsa, C. subvilldsa Fisch., 
(our fig. 636., and jig. 681. in p. 388.) 
is apparently another variety of the pre- 
ceding sort, or, perhaps, of C. coccinea. 
Tt is very distinct in appearance, from 
its villous twisted leaves, and stunted 
tortuous shoots; but, from its having 
been only three or four years in the 
country, very little is known of its habit 
of growth, which seems to be rather 
more loose than that of C. glanduldsa. 
There are plants in the Horticultural 
Society’s Garden, and in Messrs. Lod- 
diges’s arboretum. 
Differs from the preceding sort in the stipules 
and calyxes being glandular, and in the head of 
the tree forming a dense mass of small twigs. 
Being a small compact tree, of somewhat conical 
or fastigiate habit, and of comparatively low 
growth, &nd yet very prolific in flowers and fruit, 
it is well adapted for small gardens; and, being 
at the same time full of branches and very spiny, 
it is better calculated than many other kinds of American Crate‘gus for forming 
field hedges.
