The firft fort grows naturally in England, in Italy, 
and other parts of Europe, and is the common Vibur- 
num or Lantana of the old botanifts. The leaves of 
this tree are h ear t-fh aped, nine inches long, and four 
inches and a half broad ; they are much veined, and 
irregularly fawed on their edges^ and are very woolly 
on their under fide. The ftalks are woody, and rife 
near twenty feet high, fending out ftrong ligneous 
branches on every fide, which are covered with a light 
coloured bark ; thefe are terminated by umbels of 
white flowers whofe fummits are red. The flowers ap- 
pear in June, and are fucceeded by roundifh com- 
preffed berries, which turn firft to a bright red colour, 
and are black when ripe, inclofing one feed of the 
fame ftiape. 
There is a variety of this with variegated leaves, which 
is preferved in fome of the gardens near London ; but 
when the plants are removed into good ground, and 
are vigorous, their leaves become plain. 
The fecond fort grows naturally in moft parts of North 
America, where it is commonly called Black Haw ; 
this rifes with a woody ftalk ten or twelve feet high, 
covered with a brown bark, and fends out branches 
from the fide the whole length thefe, when young, 
are covered with a purple fmooth bark ; they are gar- 
nifhed with oval fmooth leaves two inches long, and 
an inch and a quarter broad, which are (lightly fawed 
on their edges, and (land upon fhort (lender foot- 
ftalks, fometimes oppofite, and at others without or- 
der. The flowers are difpofed in fmall umbels* which 
come put from the fide and at the end of the branches ; 
they are white, and fmaller than thofe of the common 
Viburnum j thefp appear in June, and are fometimes 
fucceeded by berries which do not ripen here. 
The third fort grows naturally in North America. 
The ftalks of this are foft and pithy ; they branch out 
greatly from the bottom upward. The bark is of a 
gray colour •, the leaves are roundish, oval, three 
inches long, and nearly a? broad •, they are ftrongly 
veined, and fawed on their edges, of a light, green 
colour, and placed oppofite upon pretty long foot- 
ftalks. The flowers are difpofed in a corymbus at 
the end of the branches they are white, and almoft 
as large as thofe of the common fort thefe appear the 
latter end of June, but are not fucceeded by feeds in 
England. 
The fourth fort is the Lauruftinus with fmall leaves, 
which are hairy on their under fide ; this plant is fo 
well known as to need no defcription, but as it is fre- 
quently confounded with the next, it may be necefla- 
ry to point out its difference. The leaves of this are 
feldom more than two inches and a half long, and one 
and a quarter broad •, they are rounded at their bafe, 
but end in acute points ; they are veined and hairy on 
their under fide, and are not of fo lucid a green co- 
lour on their upper fide. The umbels of dowers are 
fmaller, and appear in autumn, continuing all the 
winter, and the plants are much hardier. 
The fifth fort is commonly known in the nurfery-gar- 
dens by the title of (hining-leaved Lauruftinus. The 
ftalks of this rife higher, and the branches are much 
ftrone;er than thofe of the former fort. The bark is 
fmoother, and turns of a purplifh colour ; the leaves 
are larger, of a thicker confidence, and of a lucid 
green colour the umbels are much larger, and fo 
are the flowers ; thefe feldom appear till the fpring, 
and when the winters are (harp, the flowers are killed, 
fo never open un lei's they are dickered. The plants 
of this fort were formerly kept in tubs, 2nd houfed 
in winter ; and, when they were fo treated, made a 
fine appearance early in the fpring ; and in very mild 
feafons, the plants in the open air do the fame. 
There is a variety of this with variegated leaves, which 
makes as good a figure as any of the ftriped plants 
which are preferved in gardens. 
The fixth fort is a native of North America, v/here it 
rifes to the height of ten or twelve feet, fending out 
branches on every fide their whole length •, thefe have 
a fmooth purplifh bark they are garnifhed with oval 
entire leaves, five inches long, and tv/o inches and a 
half broad, of a thick confidence, and a lucid green ; 
they ftand oppofite. The flowers are produced in um- 
bels at the end. of the branches ; they are white, and 
not unlike the flowers of Lauruftinus ; thefe appear in 
July, and are fucceeded by berries which feldom ri- 
pen in England. 
There feems to be two forts of this in the gardens, one 
of which comes from the more northern parts of Ame- 
rica, and flieds its leaves in winter •, the other, which 
grows in Carolina and Virginia, is an evergreen, but 
both are fo much alike in dimmer, as icarce to be 
diftinguifhed. 
The leventh fort is the common Mar fin Elder, which 
grows naturally in marfhy grounds, and on the fides 
of rivers in many parts of England, fo is not often 
kept in gardens-, it is called by fome of the nurfery- 
sardeners Guelder-role with flat flowers, to diftinguifh 
it from the other, whofe flowers are globular. The 
Marfh Elder is the original fpecies, and Guelder-rofe 
is a variety which accidentally arofe from it. The for- 
mer has a border of male flowers which are large, and 
the middle of the umbel is compofed of hermaphro- 
dite flowers, which are fucceeded by oval red berries j 
the latter has all male flowers of the fame fize and 
fhape with thofe of the border of the firft, fo that 
they fwell out into a round figure, which has occa™ 
fioned fome country people giving it the title of Snow- 
ball-tree. This fort is cultivated in gardens for the 
beauty of its flowers, which make a fine appearance 
during their continuance. 
It will rife to the height of eighteen or twenty feet, if 
it is permitted to ftand. The Item becomes large, 
woody, and hard ; the branches come out oppofite, 
and are apt to grow irregular they have a gray bark. 
The leaves are placed oppofite they are divided into 
three or four lobes, fomewhat like thofe of the Ma- 
ple : they are about three inches long, and two and a 
half
