F 



This plant, from its cjose external resemblance, would readily 

 be confounded with L. oxydadum, but on careful examination 

 it will be found extremely different. The fleshy leaves are 1 or 2 

 lines long, \ line broad, cuneate below, with numerous yellowish 

 immersed shining glands on both surfaces; the peduncle is 1^ 

 line long ; the tube of the calyx is equal in length to the five equal 

 erect divisions, which are | line long ; the tube of the corolla is 2^ 

 lines; the segments of its border \ line long; the berry is nearly 

 2 lines in diameter, 2-celled, containing eight glaucous-brown, 

 oval, compressed, and somewhat cochleate seeds ; these are affiled 

 to the lower portion of the dissepiment, which is membranaceous, 

 and sht in the middle of the upper portion, as in the DuhoisieoiK
