Fruit scarlet ; ripe in September. From the appearance of the plants bearing tliis name in the extensive collection in Messrs.

It is, however, very distinct, and, from the rich colour of its flowers and fruit, well deserving a place in collections. § 11. BraCteatCE. SSS. «. (f.) kamtschkica. Sect. Char.
