216 OUR NATIVE TREES AND SHRUBS. 
Several other species of this genus are worthy a place in 
our collections: Cornus circinata, sericea, stolonifera, pani- 
culata, alternifolia, all of which may be found either in thick- 
ets or swampy places. 
The Honeysuckle family is already introduced, but some 
members of it need a special introduction. 
The Snowberry (Symphoricarpus racemosus), with its 
fruit so well known to children as far from liability to stain ; 
and the Coral-berry (S. vulgaris), are in general cultivation, 
especially the former. 
The Trumpet Honeysuckle (Lonicera semperivirens) , and 
the delicate little Fly Honeysuckles (L. ciliata and ecrulea), 
are equally as charming as some of their foreign sisters. The 
Viburnum too is a beautiful genus. The Cranberry Tree 
(V. Opulus), whose fruit is better to look at than to eat, 
and the Hobble-bush (V. lantanoides), so called from the 
facility with which its procumbent branches trip the incautious 
traveller, are well known in early spring, with their broad 
eymes of mainly sterile flowers; and the flower-buds of the 
latter forming in early autumn, afford a beautiful study of 
nature’s care in affording protection against the winter's 
cold; while the rusty down upon the leaf-stalks affords 
under the microscope a most beautiful specimen of stellate 
hairs. But the other species, V. nudum, prunifolium, den- 
tatum, pubescens, acerifolium, and especially Lentago, while 
by no means rare in the woods and copses, are very beau- 
tiful, with enough of variety to render it desirable to have 
them all. 
The Button-bush ( Cephalanthus occidentalis) is odd, with 
its buttons of white flowers, and worthy of cultivation. 
Many of the Hricace are no less beautiful than unknown. 
The Swamp Blueberry ( Vaccinium corymbosum) with its 
great variety of forms, is a very attractive shrub, with pu- 
scent leaves, large flowers, and conspicuous and delicious 
fruit. The Deerberry (V. stamineum) is very peculiar in 
its habit of flowering, and would be very ornamental. Doubt-
