or Hneate deep green, shining. Flowers crowded in the 

 notches, subconglomerate, very shortly pedicled, purple, 

 monoicous, sterile and fertile ones mingling together; the 

 latter fewest. In the staminiferous flowers the calyx is of 

 six pieces or leaflets and spreading: the 3 outer leaflets 

 smaller than the others by one half, ovate and pointed, of 

 a palish red; the 3 inner ones ovate and obtuse, likewise of 

 a palish red. Glands 6 ovate, deep crimson, at the leaflets 

 of the calyx. Filament cylindric, upright, purple, at the 

 top slightly trifid. Anthers 3, twin, lobes roundish, yellow. 

 In the pistilliferous flowers the calyx is the same as in the 

 other, but a little larger; germen roundish, encircled by a 

 crenulated ledge at the base; styles 3, reflex; stigmas 

 bifid. 



The drawing was taken in the autumn, in the stove of 

 the nursery of Messrs. Whitley, Brames, and Milne, at 

 Fulham.
