 dad, Cuba. A large busby shrub, 15 feet high, branching close to 

 the ground, sending up long, stiff shoots well furnished with dark- 

 green foliage. The flowers, which are pale yellow, about one-half

 vigorous in its growth and forms a handsome rounded crown with 

 dense bright-green foliage.

 white flowers are produced profusely in early summer. Fruit blue.
