This species of Callicarpa is well distinguished from all 
others of the genus by the peculiar outline of its leaves, 
which are sessile and approaching almost to panduriform, 
with a long taper point. It was brought from China, in 
1822, for the Horticultural Society, by the late Mr. John 
Potts. Our drawing was made in the Chiswick Garden, in 
May last. 
A greenhouse undershrub about two feet high, propa- 
gated by cuttings. It is covered all over with hairs, which 
are for the most part simple. The’ stems are round, and 
closely furred. The /eaves cross each other, are flat, yel- 
lowish-green, sessile, obovate, with a taper point, a little 
contracted towards the base, where they are cordate; be- 
yond the middle they are regularly toothed, and are more 
densely downy below than above; their length is from 4 to 5 
inches; their breadth from 2 to 24. The cymes are downy, 
many-flowered, dichotomous, and are placed upon a stalk
