imbricated more or less glaucous foliage, presenting a beautiful object.”

SKIMMIA OBLATA. 
A most beautiful Japanese evergreen sbrub, producing berries of the brightest vermilion red ; this 
is one of Mr. Fortune’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 
finit 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 kuo^vn to us. It is a free-growing shrub with dense clear 
green leaves ; the panicles of bright coloui*ed berries nestling amongst the foliage at the ends of the 
branches.
