 The stamens, normally 8, sometimes are but 5-7. When the ovary is 

 trilocular, one cell contains a pair of ovules. The style, which is at first 

 continuous with the ovary, after flowering abruptly separates towards the 

 base, leaving a transverse indurated scar. The berries are 3 or 4-, or by 

 abortion 1 -seeded. 



Var. /3. macrophylla closely agrees with the common form, excepting 

 in the characters indicated. The disk, however, is small and annulate.

 trimerous flowers are found. It is a variable plant, especially in the number
