Foreman - (S. japonica ).—This is the form shown quite recentlyby Mr. Foreman, and is characterised by its very largeleaves, almost as large as those of the cherry Laurel,but paler, and with large, much-branched panicles ofmale flowers. 4. Seedling Forms of S. Fortunei ? Both Mr. Noble and Mr. Rogers tell us that they have raised thousands of plants from the berries of japonica (our Fortunei), but never detected any variation. This looks as if the plant were not only. FiG. 94.—forfmaks bkimmia. at the same time. Some of the berries sent to usshowed embryos germinating while still within theberry, a precocious condition, which is observed some-times in the nearly allied Orange and Lemon. Fore-mans variety, as examined by us had greenishshoots ; leaves 3 by f inches, yellowish-green, lan-ceolate or oblanceolate, tapering to each end, slightlyturned under at the margin, and like all the Skim-mias, thickly dotted with translucent glands con-taining the oil which gives the leaves their about \ inch, reddish. Inflorescence a many-flowered-racemose cyme; fruiting pedicels erect orascending, glabrous or ciliolate. Berries scarlet,about \ inch long, sub-globose depressed or Fear-shaped in the same inflorescence. Seed oblongroundish, 3-8ided, dorsum convex. We have cited Mr. Foremans statement as to theorigin of his plant, but we think it is open
