Choisya
(named after M. Choisy, a Genevese botanist, author of several monographs in De Candolle's "Prodromus"). ORD. Rutaceoe. A very beautiful shrub, quite hardy in the southern and many other parts of Britain, with the protection of a wall. It thrives in a southern or western aspect, and requires a compost of loam and peat, to which a small quantity of sand and leaf mould is added. It may be easily propagated by ripened cuttings, which will root freely in sand, under a hand glass, in gentle bottom heat, during spring and early summer.

July. l. opposite, ternate, stalked, bright green, full of pellucid dots. h. 6ft. Mexico, 1825. (R. H. 1869, 332.)
