5-toothed calyx, spreading deeply 5-lobed corolla, 5 stamens, 1 to 3

trally.—Atlantic species, extending into Texas and probably within our limits. 
2. V. prunifolium L. (Biack Haw.) A tall shrub or small tree (6 to 9m. high),

SPICATUS Gray is a form with fructiferous spikes more elongated, sometimes equaling 
the leaves.—Near New Braunfels (Lindheimer). 
* * Longer-flowered, the corolla oblong-cumpanulate to salverform: fruit white: flowers 
mostly arillary. 
2, S. rotundifolius Gray. Tomentulose to glabrate: leaves from orbicular to 
oblong-elliptical, thickish, 12 to 18 min. Jong: corolla elongated-campanulate, 6 to
