XXVI. ROSA‘CEH: Py'‘RUS. 445 
Spec. Char., §c. Leaflets ovate, crenate; 3 pairs, with an odd one, which is 
longer than the others: all are hairy beneath. Petiole gland-bearing 
upon the upper side. Styles 5. Intermediate, and perhaps a hybrid, be- 
tween P.aucuparia and P. arbutifdlia. (Dec. Prod.) A low tree, with 
rambling, slender, dark-coloured shoots, and fruit resembling that of P. ar- 
butifolia. Height 10 ft. to 20 ft. In cultivation in 1800. Flowers white 
May. Fruit small, black ; ripe in September. Decaying leaves dark 
purplish red. Naked young wood purplish, 
Pariety. 
¥ P.s, 2 péndula Hort., Sérbus hybrida péndula Lodd. Cat., P. spiria 
sambucifolia Hort. Brit. (the plate of this variety in Ard. Brit., 1st 
edit. vol. vi.) has pendulous shoots, and is a very distinct and 
most interesting kind. There are fine low trees of it in the Hor- 
ticultural Society’s Garden ; and, if grafted 10 or 12 feet high, in- 
stead of only 3 or 4 feet, as it is there, it would form one of the 
most beautiful of pendulous trees. It is prolific in flowers, and 
dark purple fruit ; and the leaves die off of an intensely dark pur- 
plish red. Every hawthorn hedge might be adorned with this tree 
by grafting. 
Both the species and variety are very desirable small trees for their leaves, 
their flowers, and their fruit ; they are readily propagated by grafting on the 
common thorn or mountain ash, and require the same soil as that species.

Engravings. Wall. Pl. Asiat. Rar., 2. t. 189.; and our fig. 795. 
Spec. Char., Sc. Leaves pinnate, 
with 7—8 pairs of elliptic-lan- 
ceolate, mucronate leaflets, which 
are serrated at the apex, pubes- 
cent beneath. Cymes branched, 
terminal, pubescent. (Don’s 
Mill.) A deciduous tree. Ne- 
pal,on mountains. Height 15ft. 
to 20 ft. Introduced?. Flowers 
white; June. Pome small, obo- 
vate roundish, red; ripe Nov. 
This very desirable and probably 
quite hardy species, we believe, 
has not yet been introduced, but 
it doubtless will soon be so.

P. hircina Wall. Cat. p. 675., 
and Don’s Mill, ii. p. 648., is a 
native of Nepal, with pinnate 
leaves, and numerous leaflets, 5

about the size of that of the common mountain ash. 
§ vii. Adendérachis Dec. 
Sect. Char. Petals spreading, each with a claw, and a concave limb. Styles 
2—5. Pome globose. Leaves simple, the midrib bearing glands on its 
upper surface (which is the character expressed in the sectional name). 
Flowers in branched corymbs.— Deciduous shrubs, natives of North 
America; growing to the height of 4 or 5 feet, and prolific in flowers, 
followed by red, dark purple, or black, fruit. They are all readily 
propagated by division, by suckers, or by grafting on the common hawthorn.
