W. frutescens magnifica is an improved form of the species. W. JAPONICA. Japan. A bush-like species bearing white flowers, but it is rarely seen in cultivation. It is, however, quite hardy, and succeeds well in the bush state at Kew. W. MULTIJUGA. Japan, 1874. Resembles somewhat our commonly-cultivated species, and has pale purple flowers arranged in long racemes.
This is a commonly-cultivated species, with semi-evergreen leaves, and spikes of yellowish-white flowers. It is a good hedge plant, and succeeds well as a town shrub. L. QUIHOI. China, 1868. This is a much valued species, as it does not flower until most of its relations have finished.
S. serrulata variegata is a well-marked and constant form. SYMPHORICARPUS OCCIDENTALIS. Wolf Berry. North America. This species has larger and more freely-produced flowers, and smaller fruit than the commonly-cultivated plant. Snowberry. North America, 1817.
It is a handsome shrub, of free growth, in light, sandy loam, and quite hardy even when fully exposed. H. PARVIFLORA has smaller flowers than those of our commonly-cultivated plant. H. TETRAPTERA. Snowdrop Tree. North America, 1756. This is a very ornamental tall-growing shrub, of somewhat loose growth, and bearing flowers which resemble, both in size and appearance, those of our common Snowdrop.
