placed in the same division with it. The character of all 

 is to have the leaves very villous, hoary, with small leaflets, 

 of thick texture, with very obtuse serratures ; the fruit very 

 large and pale ; the seeds prominent ; flesh insipid in the type. 



5th. The Hautbois Strawberries. Fragaria elatior; of 

 which there are more varieties than are generally known, and 

 it is to the want of correct knowledge of the qualities and 

 properties of these, that the erroneous opinion has originated 

 of the Hautbois being unproductive. Their character is to 

 have tall, pale green, rugose leaves, of thin texture ; the 

 scapes tall and strong ; the fruit middle sized, pale, greenish 

 white, tinged with dull purple; the seeds slightly embedded; 

 the flavour musky. 



6th. The Green Strawberries. Fragaria collina of Ehr- 

 hart, and Fragaria viridis of Duchesne. The French cul- 

 tivate several kinds which appear to be varieties of this 

 Strawberry ; the only one at present much known with ns, is 

 called the Green Pine, or Pine Apple Strawberry, which, 

 generally speaking, is kept in gardens more as an object of 

 curiosity than of use, for it rarely produces perfect fruit, 

 though in some particular situations it bears well. Its merit 

 consists in the high flavour of the berry, which approaches 

 that of the Hautbois. Its habit is dwarf ; the leaves pale, 

 light green, and strongly plaited ; the fruit small, globular 

 and pale. In general character the plants are akin to the 

 Wood Strawberry. 



7th. The Alpine and Wood Strawberries. Fragaria sem- 

 perflorens and Fragaria vesca. The habits and general cha- 

 racter of these are very similar, the principal difference being 

 in the shape of the fruits, which are usually conical in the
