“ C rates'gus florentina Zucch.; .Mespilus florentina Bert. Leaves long-ovate,heart-shaped at the base, dentate, woolly underneath. Calyx woolly, lobesdeciduous. Fruit ovate-globose, glabrous, 5-seeded. A native of Tuscany;flowering in spring, and ripening its fruit in autumn. This species, of which anotice has been sent us by Sr. G. Manetti, does not appear to have beenintroduced.

“ C. opaca Hook, et Arn., Comp, to Bot. Mag., 1. p. 25. This species wasfound by Drummond, near New Orleans, in 1833. It is described as havingoblong, obtuse, opaque leaves, attenuated at the base, and subsinuated; ob-scurely serrated, glabrous above, and ferruginous pubescent near the nervesbeneath. The specimen found by Drummond was in fruit, and he did notsee the flower. The fruit was about the size of that of C. Oxyacantha, markedin the dry state with five furrows, alternating with the cells, and crownedwith the triangular segments of the calyx, Dr. Hooker thinks it quite distinctfrom any other species that he is acquainted with.”

“ These species of Cratae'gus were all taken up, and replanted, in theautumn of 1836, and some changes made, in consequence of which ourSynonymies will no longer apply; but those who purchased plants from Messrs.Loddiges previously to that year may rely on its correctness.”
