 the leaves, woolly. Flowers ^ in. diam., inodorous. Lritjye 1 in. long, obovoid ob- 

 tusely 3-lobed, rough and setose, flesh bitter; stone triquetrous, 3-celled. 



Of this remarLablo plant nothing is knowTi except from the plate and description 

 of Ehecde. I follow the majority of authors in placing it at the end of TerebinihacecBt 

 with which, however, I suspect it has nothing to do. Jussieu (Gen. PI. 370) suggests 

 that it may be more allied to Sapi7id accce , To me it looks more like a Euphorbiaceous 

 or Verbenaccous plant.

■ '\ ■ . . .■-.--■ 



Usually glabrous shrubs, with 4-angled sai'iuentose branches, the lower op- 

 posite; buds scaly. Leaves opposite, rarely 3-natejiy whorled, quite entire, 

 sessile, exstipulate. Racemes axillary. Floicers small, green, hermaphrodite or 

 polygamous. Sepals 5, spreading, imbricate, persistent. Petals smaller than tbe 

 sepals, fleshy, keeled vvithin, thickened after flowering and embracing the fruit. 

 Stamens 10, hypogynous, free or the alternate adnate to the petals, filaments 

 short; anthers large, oblong, rough. . Disk 0. Carpels 5-10, free, 1-celled, 

 wborled on a fleshy receptacle ; styles slender, subulate, fleshy, papillose all over ; 

 ovules 1 in each cell, pendulous from the top. Fmit of 5 or 10 oblong com- 

 pressed diy little nuts, closely embraced by the fleshy petals, 1-celled, 1-seeded. 

 ISeed compressed, testa memoranous, albumen a thin layer ; cotyledons plano- 

 convex, mdicle superior. — Distrib. ^-5 species natives of S. Europe, N. Africa, 

 Japan, the Ilimalayft, New Zealand, and the Andes. 



An order of doubtful affinity, perhaps nearest VhytolaccccSy which should in this 

 work have been i)laced in Thala mi floras.
