In the present work, some of these species (the quinces) are set off as Cydonia, the medlar as , and the motmtain ashes, cliokeberries and their kin as Sorbtis.

The best horticultural account of the species of Pears, with particular reference to their pomological values, will be found in vol. 1 of Dccaisne's "Le Jardin Fruitier du Museum," where superb plates are given. 2.
