| | |golden form of this Privet,
| | |known as Aureum or

*L. Quihoui |China |White; |A somewhat spreading shrub
| |late |about 5 feet high, with
| |September |small leaves and terminal
| | |panicles of flowers. For
| | |this reason it is worth
| | |growing as a flowering
| | |shrub.
| | |
*L. sinense |China |White |The finest of all Privets
(Chinese Privet) | | |as regards its flowers. It
| | |forms a sub-evergreen shrub
| | |from 12 to 15 feet high,
| | |with arching branches, and
| | |frond-like arrangements of
| | |the smaller branchlets,
| | |which are clothed with
| | |leaves about the size of
| | |those of the Common Privet,
| | |and pale green in colour.
| | |The white flowers are borne
| | |in such profusion towards
| | |the end of July that the
| | |entire plant is quite a
| | |mass of that colour. It
| | |needs a well-drained soil.
