HE Cercis canadensis, like the j'ndas-trce of Enrope, Ibrnis a luiiidsoine sliriib, or low tree, _ M .seldom attaining a height of twenty leet, when wild, but sometimes double this height in a state of cnltivation. It is at once distingnished from that tree by its leaves being lieart-sliaped, and pointed, much thinner, more veined,\ind of a lighter green; and the flowers are generally produced in less numbers. Tlie leaves are broadly ovate-cordate, acuminate, hairy along the vchis on their under sides, of a light bluish- green above, and of a pale sea-green imderneath. The flowers, which put forth before the leaves, in March, April, and May, are of a ptirplish line, acid to the taste, and are succeeded by small, flat, thin, brownish pods, containing nmnerons seeds.
