108 PENTANDRIA PENTAGYNIA. Aralia, 
Leaflets petiolated, generally five or six, and of different 
sizes, oblong, pointed, entire, smooth on both sides, the 
shortest about the length of the common petiole. Petioles 
stem-clasping, round, smooth. Petiolets the largest 
about an inch round, and smooth. Umbellets globular, 
numerous, inserted alternately on many long, terminal, 
leafless ramifications the whole forming a large open pa- 
nicle. Flowers very numerous, small. Calyx ; involucre 
of the globular umbellet, scarcely any. Perianth a five- 
sided marginal elevation round the germ, Corol ; petals 
five, inserted on the five marginal sides of the perianth. 
Stamens five. Germ inferior, five-celled, with a single ovu- 
ja in each attached to the top of the cell, &c. exactly asin 
the ripe state. Berry round, size of a small pea, smooth, — 
yellow, five-celled. Seed solitary, attached to the top 
of the cell immediately under the remains of its stigma, 
straight and sharp on the inner edge, convex and 
broad in the interior. Integument single, white. Peris- 
perm conform to the seed, entire, pure white, of a firm 
and rather tough consistence. Embryo inverse, scarcely 
half the length of the perisperm. Cotyledons two, linear, 
Radicle cylindric, superior, immediately within the um- 
bilicus. 
In Hedera terebinthacea “which this species most 
resembles, the style which is single, is as long as the fi- 
lament, and ends in a single acute stigma; consequently 
they cannot be the same, though in the Banksian herbari- 
um 1 believe my plant is there marked H. terebinthi- 
ana. |
