A native of mountainous districts in the most remote parts of Siberia. Persoon has stated that it varies with leaves linear-lanceolate. {Dec. Prod.) A low tree, having the general appearance of the common apricot, but smaller in all its parts. Dahuria, on mountains, growing upon the face of perpendicular rocks ex- posed to the sun. Height 6 ft. to 8 ft.; in England 8 ft. to 20 ft. Intro- duced in 1788. Flowers rose-coloured; May. Drupe?. This tree, on the mountains of Dahuria, does not attain a greater height than that of a man; but it has a trunk the thickness of the wrist, a rough and black bark, and hard wood. It flowers about the same time as the Jihodo- dendron dauricum; growing on the south sides of the mountains, while the latter grows on the north sides. When both these plants are in flower, Pallas observes, the north sides of the moimtains appear of a purple colour, and the south of a rose colour. {Fl. Ross., i. p. 13.) In British gardens, the Siberian apricot forms a tree of nearly the same height as the common apricot, of which it appears to us to be the wild form. 'i 4. A. (v.) BRiGANTi^ACA Pers.
