This pretty double pink dwarf plum was introduced by Mr. Robert Fortune from China in 1856, and named by Dr. Lindley in the Gardeners' Chronicle, Prunus triloba. It is now common in cultivation, but in Philadelphia suffers much from a species of fungus attack allied to the fire blight in the pear, and to which the common dwarf almond is also very liable. In France last year the double flowers reverted back to the single state to enable fruit to perfect. The little plums are about the size of a Houghton gooseberry. Mr. Andre thinks there are botanical differences sufficient to warrant a division from Prunus and he names it Prunopsis Lindleyi in Reveu Horticole.
