PUNICA americana nana feu humillima.

Inft. 636.

The PUNICA nana, of which no figure has, to our know- ledge, been hitherto given, is a shrub of humble growth, in other respects so closely allied to PUNICA Granatum, that per- haps they might be confidered as mere varieties, at least it is difficult to find distinguishing characters, the leaves of our plant not being narrower in proportion to the length than in the other.

Is generally supposed to be a native of the Weft- Indies, and BROWN, in his Hiftory of Jamaica, mentions a larger and fmaller variety of PUNICA, cultivated there, but does not fay whether indigenous or not, nor do we find the other authors who have mentioned it, sufficiently explicit to admit of ascertaining its native country.

It is wonderful that so beautiful a shrub, cultivated by MILLER so long fince as the year 1731, and easily propagated by layers, fhould not be more common; certainly there are few inhabitants of the greenhouse more ornamental, continuing full three months in blofsom.
