Skimmia fortunei, Mast. (S. japonica, Lindl.). Similar to the preceding but of dwarfer habit: lvs. lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, acuminate, dark green above, light green beneath, 3 1/2-10 in. long: fls. white, in oblong-ovate panicles, perfect: fr. obovate, dull crimson-red. Spring. China. G.C. II. 25, p. 245 (as S. oblata); III. 5. p. 525. The following as S. japonica: B.M. 4719; F.S. 7, p. 39; Gn. 7, p. 183, and 8, p. 519; G. 1:40; R.H. 1869, p. 259, and 1880, p. 56. This species fruits more freely than the preceding. Var. rubella, Rehd. Peduncles, pedicels, and buds reddish; staminate form. R.H. 1874:311; 1885, p. 189. Var. argentea, Mast., has the lvs. bordered with white. A hybrid between this and the preceding species is probably S. intermedia, Carr., with narrow oblong-elliptic lvs. dark green above. To this hybrid belong also S. Foremanii, Hort., with lanceolate or oblanceolate yellowish green lvs. and subglobose and obovate fr. on the same panicle (G.C. III. 5:553. Gn. 61, p. 160; 67, p. 57) and S. Rogersii, Hort., with similar but deep green lvs. and globose squarish fr. CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
