leafy twigs. This very attractive shrub was raised by Messrs. Veitch's 

 nursery at Langley about 1899, by crossing E. philippiana with E. punc- 

 tata. Although not quite so hardy as the first of these, it is hardy 

 enough to stand all but the severest of frosts, and even then will break 

 up again from the ground. It is distinct from other Escallonias in its 

 slender arching branches, which bear the racemes on the upper side. The 

 color of the flowers, too, is different from that of any other Escallonia 

 except E. edinensis." (W. J. Bean, Trees and Shrubs Hardy in the 

 British Isles, vol. 1, p. 528.)
