quill ; axils shaggily furred with long whitish curled hairs 

 surrounding the stem at that place, as well as at the base of 

 the branches of the panicle. Panicle terminal, brachiate: 

 partial peduncles horizontal, opposite, smooth, dichoto- 

 mously subdivided: branchlets repeatedly subdivided: end- 

 pedicles capillary: leaflets at the base of the partial pe- 

 duncles petioled, cordately lanceolate at the base of the 

 branchlets, subulate. Calyx smooth: segments lanceolate. 

 Corolla an inch long; tube filiform, many times longer

It is observed by Sir James Smith, that " there is a 

 " great resemblance in the general habit and several promi- 

 " nent characters between the species of this genus and 

 " those of Volkameria. That it differs from the latter in 

 " having a simple, not a bifid stigma, and one-seeded, not 

 « two-seeded stones or pyrenes. That the number of ker- 

 u nels or seeds is, however, in both genera exactly the 



" same."
