Varieties. 
&% ¥ V. L. 2 grandifolia Ait., V. L. latifolia Lodd. Cat., has leaves larger 
than those of the species, and, according to some, ought to constitute 
a separate species itself. Mr. Gordon thinks this variety the same 
as V. (L.) lantandides. 
2 * V. L. 3 foliis variegdtis Lodd. Cat. has leaves variegated with white 
and yellow. 
It grows rapidly when young, often producing shoots 5 or 6 feet long, from 
stools in coppice woods ; but becoming stationary when it has attained the 
height of 12 or 15 feet, which it does in 5 or 6 years; and, when pruned to 
a single stem, forms a handsome durable small tree. In Germany, the shoots 
of one year are employed in basket-making, and for tying faggots and other 
packages ; and those of two or three years old are used for tubes to tobacco- 
pipes. Plants may be raised from seeds, which should be laid up in a heap 
in the rotting-ground, like haws ; for, if sown immediately after being gathered, 
they will not come up for 18 or 20 months.
