at St. Arm’s by Mr. Criiger. It is not in Grisebach, at 
least under that name. It grows no higher than a good 
standard apple tree, say not over 20 feet, seems of slow 
growth, and is probably a hard and heavy wood ; it puts 
out when blooming a quantity of small, unattractive, ses- 
sile or subsessile flowers, yellowish I think, set all along 
the '^ itches; the bark is coarse, and I think I remember 
it bleed. ,,; a thick yellowish gum when wounded. It is

mountains, near water-runs, that one meets with the lovely 
JParszewiczia coccinea , with its long outstretching arms of 
gorgeous scarlet bract , ranged, alternate, in double file, 
and m gradually climia ding size and compacter order 
along the graceful curve of those excessively tough bran-, 
cbes ; this is another of those plants which can never be
