Introduced in 1820. Flowers yellow; May and June. Berries purplish, with a fine bloom; ripe in July. Decaying leaves yellow and red. Leaves somewhat resem- bling those of .B. heterophylla, but not glaucous. The plant is easily distinguished from that species by the .very short racemes of its flowers, by their being produced much earlier, and by the smoothness of its shoots. On July 20. 1637, a fine plant of B. asiatica, in the grounds at Syon, was covered with fruit, while one of B. aristata, standing close beside it, was covered with its beautiful rich yellow blossoms, many of which were not fully expanded. The fruit is oblong, pinkish or purplish, wrinkled, and covered with a fine thick bloom like that of the best raisins. The plants in 5 or 6 years attain the height of 6 or 8 feet. a 16.
