Text Appearing Before Image:
abundant,but, according to the writers own observations, chiefly alongthe hillsides, where a considerable quantity of disintegrated rockhad accumulated. The fondness of the birds for the berries has, no doubt, aidedits distribution, for it is found in tolerable abundance in almostall northern countries, in the language of the Botany of theCalifornian Geological Survey, extending round the world.Though abundant in Oregon, it hardly reaches California, how-ever, where other species replace it. The flowers, in some European works, are represented as ofa rosy pink, but all that we have seen in our country havesimply a rosy mouth to the white, waxy corolla, thus reallygiving it greater beauty than if it were of one uniform tint.Thoucjh there are several flowers in one cluster, we have neverseen more than one berry mature. Why the remainder arebarren is not quite clear. Our drawing was made from aMichigan specimen, in flower on the 26th of April, showinghow early it comes into bloom. Plate
