(iS. chamaedrifolia latjfolia Hart.) has been raised from seeds received from Germany through Mr. Hunneuian; and it appears to be only a variety of this species. In Kamtschatka the leaves are used as a substitute for tea ; and the shoots, when straight, are bored for to- bacco-pipes. In its wild state, it varies exceedingly in the magnitude of the entire plant, in the largeness or j smallness of its leaves, and in their being more or less ' cut or serrated, and more or less smooth or pubescent. A very ornamental hardy shrub, producing its corymbs of x white flowers, which are tolerably large, in June and July. It is said to make beautiful garden Though the seeds ripen in England, plants can seldom be raised from them ; and, as this species does not produce suckers freely, it is generally raised by layers or cuttings. ai 4.
