3. P. tormindlis Sm. (wild S.) ; leaves ovate or cordate lobed 
and serrate, lower lobes larger and spreading, peduncles corym- 
bose. Crataegus L. : E. B. t. 298. 
Woods and hedges, chiefly in the middle and south of England, 
b- 4 — 6. — Young leaves pubescent or tomentose beneath, old ones 
almost glabrous. Flowers rather large, white. Fruit small, greenish- 
brown, spotted. 
4. P. *domesliea Sm. ( true S.) : leaves pinnate downy be- 
neath, leaflets serrate upwards, flowers panicled, fruit (large) 
obovate. E. B. t. 350. Sorbus L. 
Solitary tree in Wyre Forest, near Bewdley, Worcestershire, h • 
5. — Segments of the calyx recurved after flowering. Styles jointed, 
woolly to the apex. Habit of the following; but differing in its 
ratber larger flowers and the much larger fruit, which resembles a 
small pear, an inch long, with a horny lining to the cells. The 
inflorescence, too, although sometimes short and broad, is never a true 
corymb ; but the chief character lies in the fruit. 
5. P. aucupdria Gsertn. ( Mountain-ash or Rowan-tree) ; leaves 
pinnate usually glabrous when old, leaflets serrate, flowers 
corymbose, fruit (small) globose. Sorbus E. B. t. 337. 
Mountainous woods and hedges, frequent, especially in the High- 
lands of Scotland. Tj. 5, 6. — The cells of the fruit are coriaceous 
and flexible in this and the next. 
6. P. A'ria Sm. (white Beam-tree ) ; leaves somewhat ovate 
serrate cut or pinnatifid or partly pinnate white and downy 
beneath, flowers corymbose, fruit globose. — a. “ leaves oval or 
oblong unequally and doubly serrate or slightly lobed towards 
the end, nearly entire below.” E. B. t. 1858. — 0. “leaves 
oblong doubly serrate near the apex pinnatifid below, pinnce 
lanceolate oblong serrate the two lowermost distinct.” P. 
pinnatifida Sm. : E. B. t. 2331. P. Fennica Bub. — y. “ leaves 
broad lobed, lobes triangular oval toothed deepest towards the 
middle of each side of the leaf.” P. Scandica Bab. P. Aria

Mountainous woods, especially in a chalk or limestone country ; 
England and Scotland, Connemara and Killarney, Ireland. — 0. Isle of 
Arran, Scotland. — y. Hilly woods in England. T?. 5,6 Fruit 
red, rather larger than the last. There is a general character about 
all the above varieties which to us links them together ; but Mr. 
Babington has come to an opposite conclusion, and we quote from 
him the only differences that are indicated.
