Schmidt Arb., t. 86.; Krause, t. 79.; and our.;^. 800. Spec. Char., S^c. Leaves obovate-oblong, acuminate, serrated, glabrous beneath; the midrib glandulous above. Corymb more crowded than in P. arbutifolia. Calyx glabrous. Pome black. (X)ec. Prod.) A de- ciduous shrub. North America, in Canada, in bogs, and on the high mountains of Carolina and Virginia; and judging from the plants in the Horticultural Society's Garden, and in the arboretum of Messrs. Loddiges, nothing more than a variety of P. arbuti- folia. Height 4 ft. to 5 ft. Cultivated in 1700. Flowers white ; May. Fruit large, black, resembling in taste those of raccinium pennsylvanicum ; ripe in September. Variety. St P. (a.) m. 2 subpubescens Lindl. (Hort. Trans., vii. p. 232.; Don's Mill., ii. p. 649.), P. m. xanthocarpa Hort., has the leaves, when young, tomentose beneath, but glabrous in the adult state. P. (a.) melanocarpa or its variety, grafted standard high on the common hawthorn, forms a truly interesting pendulous, and at the same time pictu- resque, tree ; and we can scarcely sufficiently recommend it for small shrub- beries and suburban gardens. As its berries are not so greedily eaten by birds as those of most of the other iJosaceae, in raild winters they remain on till the following summer, and mix beautifully with the flowers in June.
