Leaves lanceolate, serrated, and glabrous, resembling in form, and nearly in size, those of Salix fragilis. Racemes lateral and. terminal. Fruit globose, resembling, in form and colour, that of C. sylvestis. (Dec. Prod.) A handsome sub-evergreen low tree or shrub. Mexico, in temperate and cold places. Height 6 ft. to 12 ft. Introduced in 1820. Flowers white; May. Drupe red ; ripe in August. The plant bearing this name in the Hort. See. Garden has leaves broader than those of 5alix fragilis; and, taken altogether, it is of more luxuriant growth than C. virginiana. It is, however, less hardy as a plant in the open garden, and was killed to the ground in the winter of 1837-8. In favourable situations, however, it is a very desirable species, being a remarkably free flowerer, and ripening abundance of fruit, which have stones as large as those of the wild cherry. s 27.
