A chinese plant. Introduced by Mr. James Drummond 
in 1806. 
Said by Loureiro to grow to a large tree, the wood 
of which is of a reddish hue, heavy and tough, and appli- - 
cable to various economical purposes. The Haw or fruit is 
eatable. 
Mr. Lindley thinks that the Cratmeus rubra of Lou- 
reiro is another species of this genus. 
The drawing was taken from a plant which blossomed 
in April last in the greenhouse at the botanical garden of the 
Horticultural Society near Hammersmith, an establishment 
which, under its present liberal and judicious superintend- 
ence, promises to become a valuable depository of curious | 
and useful vegetables.
