may, we think, be safely assumed that its origin has been 
the East, as is indeed indicated by one of its garden names. 
Our drawing was made in the Garden of the Horticul- 
tural Society, in May 1827. Propagated by grafting or 
budding on the common Hawthorn, 
Mr. Watson has confounded it with the C. aronia, a 
very different species, more nearly related to the Azarole. 
We have specimens, by the liberality of Messrs. Loddiges, 
from the very plant from which Mr. Watson’s figure, which, 
by the way, is not good, was made. 
A middle-sized tree, with the habit of C. oxyacantha, 
but more robust. eaves lucid, quite smooth, falling off 
late in the season; near the inflorescence, and on old 
branches, lanceolate, and quite entire, or oblong, cuneate, 
3-toothed at the end; on the more vigorous branches pin- 
natifid, serrate, somewhat cuneate: stipule very large, pin- 
natifid, half cordate. Cymes many-flowered, compact, 
perfectly smooth. Calyx with a linear-oblong tube, a short 
campanulate limb, and acuminate, glandless teeth. Petals 
denticulate, white. Sty/e thick, simple. Fruit black, oval, 
or fusiform, crowned with the persistent limb of the calyx.
