tain called Sinaja Sopka, near Colyva; also in great 
abundance in all the provinces south of Lake Baical. 
In gardens it rarely exceeds the height of three or four 
feet; but Pallas found it among the rugged precipices of 
the range of mountains bordering upon the river Abaca, 
with stems as thick as one’s wrist, and as high as a man. 
The shoots, when old, are long and flexible, of a bright 
yellow colour, and are made into fly-flaps by the inha- 
bitants of the countries where it grows wild. The wood is 
represented by Pallas as of a dull brown colour, streaked 
with a deep red: it is said to be very hard, and well 
adapted for veneering articles of furniture. 
A handsome hardy shrub, flowering profusely in May 
and June; propagated freely by grafting upon Caragana 
arborescens, or Robinia Caragana, as it is more commonly 
called. 
The shoots are much tougher than those of any of our: 
cultivated Osiers, and more fit for tying. 
Our drawing was made in the garden of the Horticul- 
tural Society, in June last.
