NANDINA (from Nandin, the vernacular name of the shrub in Japan). ORD. Berberideae. A monotypic genus. The species is an erect, half-hardy or greenhouse, ever-green shrub, thriving in loam and sandy peat. It may be propagated by cuttings of ripened shoots, inserted in sand, under a handlight. Probably this plant would prove hardy in a sheltered place in the more southern counties. NANDINA domestica (domestic). fl. white, with yellow anthers, terminal, panicled. July. Berries about the size of peas. l. decompound; leaflets entire; petioles sheathing at the base. h. 5ft. China and Japan, 1804. This elegant plant varies a good deal in the size of the leaflets. (B. M. 1109.)
