 '261. Lycium L. 4'C* This G. although very 

 akin to Ehretia, Cordia &c, has been put into 

 the SoLANiDEs tribe ! the main distinction was 

 the single stigma and more seeds in the berry, 

 and yet sp* with berries 1 or 2 Ice. or a capsule ! 

 calix 3 to 10 dentate, con 4-lOfid, and 4 or 5 

 stamens are united. The 5 nameless sections 

 of Kunth must certainly be as many Genera, 

 and there are more blended- The real Lycium
