Decaying leaves purplish, leathery, shining, falling oif early, like those of C. punctata and C. ^yrifoha. Naked young wood purplish. This is a very distinct sort, more particularly as it respects the colour of the fruit, and the colour and texture of the leaves. The general habit of the plant is fastigiate; and it is one of the latest kinds in leafing in the spring. The flowers and fruit are produced in great abundance, and both are very ornamental. § vii.
