serted below the ovary: alternating with these are sometimes 
found 5 short, abortive filaments. Filaments very short, 
Anthers longer, erect, conniving round the style, oblong, 
prolonged into acumina, which are sometimes a little con- 
torted, and which open at their summits by a pore; the cells 
are adnate below to the sides of the filament. Ovary oblong, 
acute. Style filiform, erect, equal to the stamens. Stigma 
simple. Berry snow-white, globular, obscurely angled, crowned — a 
with the persistent style, which is obliquely deflexed; of a 
spongy or farinose substance, containing in the centre 5 seeds, 
dispersed round the axis, and enclosed in arilli composed of 
tough longitudinal fibres. Seeds (pyrene?) oblong, some- 
what reniform, hard. Albumen conformed to the seed. Em- — 
bryo inverse, cylindrical, nearly as long as the seed. Cotyle- 
dons semicylindrical obtuse. Radicle superior, longer than 
the cotyledons. 
The branches are terminated by long corniculate buds, in 
which the gemmation is involute.

A smaller shrub than the former, branched, nadi 
Leaves alternate, petiolate, linear, lanceolate, rather obtuse 
with a mücro, attenuated to the petiole, slightly serrulate, very — 
smooth, shining, finely striated with transverse veins, Petioles — 
short, thickened at the base, channelled above. Stipules: 
linear, ciliate. Racemes simple, erect, at first terminal, bes - 
coming afterwards lateral. Flowers alternate, pedicellate, - 
often in pairs. There isa single leaf-like bract, and several . 
smaller ones at the base of the pedicels, less deciduous that - 
in the preceding. Calyx 5-leaved, leaflets ovate, ciliated. — 
Corolla white, spreading, 5-petaled; petals lanceolate, acute, — 
Stamens. 5, erect, conniving, hypogynous: filaments very - 
short: anthers yellow, oblong, broader at the base, 2-celled, - 
cells adnate to the sides of the filament, prolonged above -
