The meaning of Berberis, as fax as it is known, 
has been lately noticed. 
To this exceedingly showy variety of Barberry we 
were introduced by Mr. Rivers, in his nursery, at 
Sawbridge worth ; and to whose obliging attentions 
we are indebted for the specimens drawn from. Mr. 
Rivers discovered it amongst a quantity of seedling 
plants, and it is probable that the pollen of Fascicu- 
lans may have been conveyed by an insect to the 
flowers of Repens, from the seeds of which it origin- 
ated. Of all that we have seen of this section of 
Berberis, it is, from its robust foliage, and abundant 
showy flowers, the most desirable. 
This variety possesses much of the habit of Fas- 
cicularis, but has more robust foliage. It produces 
oLoj t unbranched suckers, and numerous terminal 
fascicled racemes of flowers, of rich yellow, very showy. 
Increase may be obtained from suckers ; and also 
fiorn layers, but these do not emit roots readily. 
Seeas are not freely produced ; but, probably, would 
be increased by the application of the pollen of 
Repens ; and from such an intermixture of char- 
acter, good varieties may be expected.
