syst. 5. p. 18. Flowers white. Salzmann collected a plant 
which is, perhaps, referrible to the present species, on the hills 
about Bahia, in Brazil, in which the stem is scandent; the 
branches tetragonal, and villous on the angles ; the panicles ter- 
Sd the flowers small, white; and the throat of the corolla 
villous.

Lix. syst. Tetra-Penténdria, Monogynia. Calyx with an 
obovate tube, and a 5, rarely 4-cleft limb; lobes short, and 
sometimes with a few accessory teeth between them. Corolla 
funnel-shaped, with the tube hairy inside, and a 5, rarely 4- 
parted limb ; lobes induplicate in estivation: hence they are 
somewhat trifid at the apex. Stamens 5, rarely 4. Anthers 
exserted, linear. Style inclosed ; stigma bifid. Berry nearly 
globose, 2-celled, 2-seeded, crowned by the limb of the calyx, 
ex Rich—A small shrub, glabrous in every part except the 
young branches, which are whitish. Leaves small, almost ses- 
sile, opposite, and generally in axillary fascicles, having an un- 
grateful scent when bruised. Stipulas combined with the petioles, 
and ciliately fringed on the margins. Flowers terminal, in fasci- 
cles, almost sessile, white.—The fruit is described by Blume and 
Jussieu as many-seeded.

bushy shrub, with small dark-green, shining, myrtle-like leaves, 
and white single or double flowers, which are reddish outside. 
The plant from Japan differs from that of China, according to 
ume, in the hairs on the inside of the throat of the corolla being 
Seniculated, not clavate. 
alan Serissa. Fl, May, Sept. 
Cult. This little shrub grows well in a mixture of loam, 
peat, and sand; and cuttings root readily in sand, with a hand- 
glass over them.

longer than the stamens; stigma emarginate. Berry roundish,

seeded pyrene, or nuts. Seeds peltate, ex Rich, fixed by a 
longitudinal chink in the middle. Albumen cartilaginous.
