Japan, 1862.
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.

Sometimes their mantles are made of the gossamer, the cobwebs which may be seen in large quantities on the furze bushes; and so of King Oberon we are told: "A rich mantle did he wear, Made of tinsel gossamer, Bestarred over with a few Diamond drops of morning dew." Tulips are the cradles in which the fairy tribe have lulled their offspring to rest, while the Pyrus japonica serves them for a fire.

I stood at your gate a little while, the path is the same, and the steps, and some of the old trees, a japonica, I remember, and the lemon verbenas. Finally, I found myself ringing your bell." "I'm so glad you did!" Anne said.
Then there is the peculiar R. Pseud-Acacia tortuosa, of ungainly habit; R. Pseud-Acacia umbraculifera, with a spreading head; R.
