a genus of the natural order Ericaceae; and some of them very ornamental shrubs in our pleasure grounds. This is especially the case with A. Unedo, a plant indigenous in southern Europe, which stands our British climate well, attaining a height of 20 feet, and bears a berry somewhat resembling a strawberry. A specimen of A. Andraeana, even higher still, remarkable for the iron-brown colour of its epidermis, which it annually sheds, is growing in the open air at Otterspool near Liverpool.
