Prunus apetala, Franch. & Sav. (Ceraseidos apetala, Sieb. & Zucc. P. crassipes, Koidz. P. Tschoneskii, Koehne). Shrub or tree, with young branches glabrous: lvs. oblong or obovate-oblong, 1-2 in. long, caudate at apex, doubly serrate and as if somewhat lobed, the teeth narrow and tipped by gland, close-vil- lous above and villous beneath, especially on the nerves; petiole short, densely villous, usually with 1 or 2 glands: fls. with deep purple calyx and sepals and very small fugaceous petals, 1-2 together, appearing with the lvs., the pedicels nearly 1 in. long and hairy; sepals or calyx- lobes ovate, about 1/5in- long, very slightly hairy outside; stamens 26, shorter than the style. Japan.— The P. apetala mentioned in horticultural literature may be a form of P. Maximowiczii: but the present description is of the true species. Var. pilosa, Wilson, has much larger fls. and the branches are less hairy, and rather more floriferous than the type; superior horticulturally. P. apetala is little known in cult, in this country. CH
