are 5 to 10 lines long and 1 to 1^ line broad; three to five 

 flowers spring out of each fascicle ; the peduncle is very slender^ 

 5 lines long ; the cS-mpannlar and somewhat scarious calyx is 

 very thin in texture, of a pale glaucous hue, is 1^ line broad and 

 long, at first with five short minute teeth, but they become irre- 

 gularly cleft into one, two, or three longer fissures : the corolla 

 is thin in texture, funnel-shaped^ the tube^ contracted a little 

 above the base, being 3 lines long, and the five equal, smooth, 

 oblong segments of its border being 2 lines in length : the sta- 

 mens inserted below the middle of the tube are quite smooth, 

 one being shorter, reaching the mouth, v^hile the other four are 

 a little longer and somewhat exserted; the immature berries are 

 slightly obovate, apiculated at the summit, and barely 3 lines in 

 diameter. No, 670, from Afghanistan, has a much paler and 

 smoother bark. The specimen from Kurdigass appears to have 

 grown luxuriantly in a moist situation, for the leaves are much 

 larger, and frequently solitary in each axil, being 1^ inch long, 

 and 3 to 5 lines broad*,

A plant bearing greatly the aspect of the specimens of L. Bar- 

 barum^ from Scinde and Afghanistan ; differing in its more an- 

 gular branches, the shorter peduncles of its flowers, and the 

 proportions of its floral parts. The larger leaves measure 1^ 

 inch in length, 5 lines in breadth; the peduncle is 1^ line long, 

 the calyx 1 line long and broad, the tube of the corolla 2^ lines 

 long, and the segments of its border 1 line in length f.
