Rhus Cotinus, sive Coccygria blows; it’s blossom is very minute, & stands on the extremities of it’s filiform bracteols, which have sort of feather-like appearance that gives the shrub a singular, & beautiful grace.  This tree does not ripen it’s berries with us.  Is a native of Lombardy, & to be found at the foot of the Apennine, & in Carniola.
