XXVI. ROSA CEH: AMELA’NCHIER. 41] 
‘pinkish; April and May. Fruit bright scarlet; ripe in August, and remain- 
Ing on all the winter. 
_ A most desirable shrub for a small garden, for clothing a naked wall, cover- 
ing rockwork, or grafting standard high, so as to form a pendent evergreen tree.

(Don’s ALill.) A prostrate evergreen shrub, closely 
resembling the preceding species, and in our opinion 
only a variety of it. Nepal. Height 2ft. to 3 ft. 
Introduced in 1824, Flowers white; May and June. 
Berries bright scarlet ; ripe in August, and remaining 
on all the winter. 
It is exceedingly hardy, and forms a fine plant on S 
rockwork, or on a lawn, where it has room to extend 743, ¢. (r.) microphylla. 
itself. A plant of C. microphylla, at High Clere, 
of about ]0 years’ growth, was, in 1835, 6 ft. high, and formed a dense bush, 
covering a space 21 ft. in diameter. Another, at Redleaf, was, in 1837, nearly 
as large. Grafted standard high on the thorn, or any of its congeners, this 
shrub forms a singular and beautiful evergreen drooping tree: or it will cover 
a naked wall nearly as rapidly as ivy; and it possesses a decided advantage 
over that plant, and particularly over the variety called the giant ivy, in its 
shoots, which may be prevented from extending many inches from the. face of 
the wall, and, consequently, being not likely to injure the plants growing near 
it. Were the practice of training trees and shrubs in architectural or sculp- 
tural shapes again to come into fashion, there are few plants better adapted for 
the purpose than this and the preceding sort of Cotoneaster.

Spec. Char., §c. Leaves ovate, woolly beneath, 
evergreen. Peduncles 2—3-flowered, woolly. 
Flowers white. (Don’s Mill.) A native of 
Neelgherry ; introduced in 1824; and ap- 
parently a variety of C. rotundifélia, from 
which it differs in having the peduncles 2- 
and 3-flowered, but scarcely in any thing 
else.
