underneath, and they are generally profusely covered with blossoms and fruit. Of P. domestica there are two 
varieties, the pear and apple-shaped, cultivated in some parts of France and near Genoa for their fruits. 
Those like the medlar and quince are not eaten till in a state of incipient decay. Tliere are but few of the 
true service in English gardens, but the P. hybrida and pinnatifida are common, and their fruit, which 
resembles that of the mountain ash, is sometimes made use of. 
P. aucuparia and Americana are handsome trees for shrubberies, the former very popular in suburban 
gardens. 
1134. Cydonia. So called from being native of the ancient town Cydon in the Island of Crete ; or perhaps 
it may be a corruption of malus-cotonea, by which the Latins designate the fruit. C. vulgaris is a deformed 
low tree, sometimes cultivated for its fruit, which is a pome with a persisting calyx like the medlar. It is used 
as a marmalade for flavoring apple-tarts. It prefers moist loam, and is raised by layers. It is most in use, 
however, as a stock for the pear. C. japonica is a beautiful low bush, remarkable for the brilliancy of its 
blossoms, which vary from the richest scarlet to the most delicate blush color. It is hardy, and well adapted 
for single plants, upon grass, or for forming ornamental hedges in flower gardens. 
1135. Photinia. So named, we believe, from (pa? (pojTo?, light, in allusion to the lucid surface of the leaves 
of the species. P. serrulata and arbutifolia are elegant shrubs, and nearly hardy. The latter succeeds 
perfe(;tly against a south wall. 
1136. Raphiolepis. From qct(pi;, a needle, and Xstr/j, a scale, in allusion to the numerous, subulate, persistent 
bracteae, which are mixed among the racemes of flowers. Pretty Chinese small shrubs, formerly known under 
the collective name of Cratsegus indica. 
1137. Eriobotrya. From iotov, wool, and Sor^y?, a bunch of grapes, in allusion to the wooUiness of its raceme. 
This genus is excellently characterized by the structure of its seed, of which the radicula is retracted within 
the cotyledons, not exserted as in all the other genera of Pomaces. E. Japonica produces an agreeable fruit 
about the size of a gooseberry, of a fine yellow color, and, according to Sir Joseph Banks, as good as the 
mango. To ripen it with flavor, it requires the temperature of the stove, and comes into use in March. It 
may be grafted on any species of the genus, or on the hawthorn.
