SKIMMIA OBLATA. 
t 
A most beautiful Japanese evergreen hai’dy shrub, producing berries 
of the bnghtest vermilion red ; this is one of Mr. Fohtuxe’s discoveries, 
and proves to be quite distinct from all other Skimmias as yet known, 
in the remarkably oblate shape of its bright red berries, so obviously 
different from the dull red oblong fruit of other Skimmias. It is also 
strikingly distinct in its foliage, which is of a different texture, as well 
as in its habit from the other species known to us. It is a free-growing 
shrub with dense clear green leaves ; the panicles of bright coloured 
berries nestling amongst the foliage at the ends of the branches.
