Prunus laurocerasus, Linn. (Cerasus Laurocerasus, Loisel. Padus Laurocerasus, Mill. Laurocerasus offici- nalis, Roem.). Cherry-laurel. English Laurel. Bush or small tree (reaching 10 ft.) with handsome evergreen foliage: lvs. coriaceous and glossy, short- stalked, oval, lanceolate, oblong-elliptic or oblanceo- late, narrowed into a short point, remotely serrulate, with 2-4 glands at the base of the blade: fls. small, white, in axillary or terminal short racemes in spring, the calyx-lobes 3-toothed: fr. ovoid-acute, small, blackish. S. E. Eu. to N. Persia. Gn. 50, p. 313.—One of the most popular broad-lvd. evergreen plants in Eu., and somewhat planted in the southern states. It is also grown in tubs and used for house-decoration. Some of the forms will stand as far north as Washington, and var. schipkaensis is hardy in Cent. N. Y. When grown in the open, the cherry-laurel should be allowed to ripen its wood thoroughly before winter sets in. Protection from severe winds is always desirable. The plant may be prop, by means of long cuttings of ripe wood; also by layers. Named varieties are worked on common stocks. The cherry-laurel is very variable. Some of the many horticultural forms are as follows: Var. angustifolia, Nichols., lvs. very long and narrow, and plant hardy as far north as Washington; var. Bertinii, with very broad lvs.; var. camelliaefolia, Nichols., with recurved lvs.; var. caucasica, Hort., and var. colchica, Hort., with slender twigs and dark foliage which is gray-green beneath, also hardy; var. japonica, Hort., a narrow-lvd. form, like var. angusti- folia; var. latifolia, Hort., with broad lvs., hardy at Washington; var. versaillensis, Hort., also with broad foliage; var. microphylla, Hort., with small, narrow lvs., only 4-5 in. long; var. rotundifolia, Nichols., with short-oblong blunt lvs. (Gn. 28, p. 405); var. parvifolia, Nichols., lvs. only 1 1/2in. long and 1/2in. broad, coarsely serrate: shrub; var. schipkaensis, Spaeth, with small nearly or completely entire lvs. dark green above and very light green beneath, shrubby, hardy in N. Y. (R.H. 1905. p. 409. G.W. 5, p. 177, var. schipkaensis Zabe-liana); var. variegata, Nichols., lvs. marbled or blotched with dull white.
