I HE Canadian Berberry is a low shrub, not exceeding five feet in heiglit, with stems, roots, and flowers yellow, as in the preceding species. The leaves are much smaller and . _- -=. narrower, aUenuatc at the base, but nearly sessile. The flowers which put forth in May and June, arc also smaller than those of the Berberis vulgaris, and the fruit is smaller and shorter, of a red colour, and less sour. It grows on fertile hills, and among rocks, especially in the Alleghany Mountains, and, on the authority of Pursh, it is found in Canada. Torrey and Gray remark that, " This indigenous species, very distinct from the Berberis vulgaris, with which it lias been in some degree confounded, is probably a native of the southern states only; the barberry of the New England states, and, doubt- less, of Canada, being the European species, and certainly not indigenous. Our species was first noticed, apparently, by Marshall, who states that he has a dif- ferent species of barberry growing near New River, Virginia. Original specimens,
