a fatal disease ; S. vibn'itilis Fr. ; S. crythrostoma Pcrs., on dead leaves still 



hanging to the twigs ; Dothidea rubra Fr. ; and Pucdnifl Prunorum Lk. t on 



the leaves. — M.J. B." 



"Prunus domcstica 4 mi/robulana. Page 688., insert at the end of the paragraph : 

 " Myrobalans are fruits resembling dried plums, sold in India for giving 

 a black dye to leather when mixed with iron filings, and also for 

 fixing colours. ( See Af'CuI/och in Trans. Soc. Arts, vol. xix. p. 343.)" 



P. cdndicans. 690., add to list of Engravings, " Bot. Reg., t. 1135." Add 

 to last line: " It was first described by M. Balbis in the Cat. of the 

 Taurida Garden, in 1813; and it was introduced into Britain from 

 Bollwyller in 1825. This species is quite hardy ; easily cultivated; and 

 so laden with white blossoms in spring, as to appear a mass of snow 

 whence the name, and not from the leaves, as Seringe supposes. (See 

 Bot. Reg., t. 1135.)" 



Cerasus. 692., after the first paragraph, add : " The fungi on the common 

 cherry are : I'rpex Cerasi Fr., Cenangium Cerasi Fr. ; Sphae v ria pul- 

 chella Pers., also on the birch ; S. varia Pcrs., on the bird-cherry ; 

 Sclerotium areolatum Fr., Dothidea fulva Fr., Asteroma Padi Dec., 

 Uvhdo porphyrogenita Lk., all on the leaves; and Scolicotrichum 

 virescens Kz., on the branches. On the leaves of the cherry laurel 

 are : Ceuthospora -Lauri Grev., Phacidium Laurocerasi Dcsm. t which 

 also grows on Cerasus lusitanica. — M. J. P.." 



C. sylvestris. 695., add to paragraph headed " Geography : " " Cherries grow 

 wild at Portella, on Mount Etna, at 2970 ft. above the level of the sea ; 

 but not lower, as the climate becomes too warm for them. {Com. Bot. 

 Mag., i. p. 91.) On the Swiss Alps, according to Kasthofer, C. syl- 

 vestris ripens fruit at Chiirwalden, 3964 ft. above the level of the sea, 

 where no kernel fruit will grow. (Voyage, &c, p. 145.)" 



C. chicasa and C.pubescens. 705., both these species Mr. Gordon considers 

 as belonging to Primus, instead of Cerasus. 



C. Yadus 4 bractcosa. 709. This, Mr. Gordon informs us, is the Padus race- 

 mosus of Loddiges and others. 

 He adds that there is another 

 distinct late-flowering variety 

 in the Horticultural Society's 

 Garden, raised from seeds 

 received from Douglas ; and 

 which appears to be the same 

 as C. mollis. (See p. 714.)

 Engravings : After " C. /. 2
