Leaves oval, 3-nerved, serrulated, smooth. Stem many- angled ; panicle thyrsoid in the axillary branches. {Dim's Mill.) A siib- evergreen shrub, or small tree. Monterey, Upper Californ a, and north- west coast of North America. Height in America 5 ft. to 20 ft. Intro- duced in ? 1830. Flowers bright blue ; May to November. Fruit black; ripe about a month after flowering. In its native country, in favourable situations, this species becomes a small tree, with a stem sometimes as thick as a man's arm, and strongly angular branches. In British gardens it forms a free-flowering highly ornamental shrub, with much of the habit of C. aziireus; from which it chiefly differs in having the flowers in a close, instead of in an elongated, thyrse. Not- withstanding this diflference, we consider it as only a variety of that species. Si a 4. C. VELUTiVus Doug. The velvety-leaved Ceanothus. Identification, Hook. Flor. Bor.
