SAMBUCUS. CAPRIFOLIACEÆ. 387 
A Sent to Roth by Heyne: we are not informed if the corolla be equally split 
own. 
t 1197. (22) L. Kanneli (Schult. :) glabrous: branches terete: leaves op- 
posite, elliptic-oblong, shortly petioled, thick: racemes short, lateral, 4-7- 
flowered: corolla small, tubular, 4-cleft (or 4-petalled) : fruit ovoid.—Schult. 
syst. T. p. 153.— Rheed. Mal. 10. t. 5. 
From an inspection of Rheede’s magnified figures, and a comparison of the 
flower with that of our L. Hookerianus, which agrees in size and colour, we 
are inclined to consider this as a tetrapetalous species. It has no relation to 
L. globosus, a hexandrous plant, to which Roxburgh and De Candolle refer 
it. Rheede states that there is a tree called Kanneli, growing upon which 
is found the present species, and therefore called Kanneli-Itti-Kanni ; and 
we suspect that he has introduced into his figure a part of the tree, as well 
as the parasite ; it is thus extremely difficult to separate the two, the more as 
€ has represented the leaves as quite the same ; the branch bearing ripe fruit 
resembles a Memecylon.

ORDER LXXX.—CAPRIFOLIACE/E. Juss. 
Calyx with its limb 5- (very rarely 4-) lobed. Corolla of one piece, 
lobed, sometimes irregular; the divisions alternate with those of the 
calyx : :stivation never valvular (D. C.) Stamens equal in number 
to the lobes of the corolla (or sometimes one of them abortive), alter- 
nating with them, and inserted towards its base: filaments subulate: 
anthers ovate, bilocular. Ovarium cohering with the tube of the calyx, 
3-celled (rarely 4- or 5-celled) : ovules few in each cell, pendulous : 
style one and exserted, or none: stigmas as many as the cells, either 
distinct or combined into one capitate stigma. Fruit crowned by the 
limb of the calyx, fleshy or rarely almost dry, plurilocular or 1-celled 
(either by the disappearance of the dissepiments or by the abortion of 
the other cells). Seeds solitary, in pairs, or several (some often abor- 
tive) in each cell, pendulous. Embryo straight, in the centre of a 
fleshy albumen: radicle superior, next the hilum.—Shrubs. Leaves 
9pposite, without stipules (or rarely with 2 small stipules or glands at 
the base of each petiole). Flowers terminal, corymbose, or axillary. 
TRIBE I.—sAMBUCER. Kunth. 
Corolla regular, rotate, seldom tubular. Style none, or very short. Stigmas 3, 
nearly sessile. Mibi on the inner side of the ovule. Endocarp bony. Testa of 
the seed membranous. 
I. SAMBUCUS. Tourn.; Linn.; Gertn. fr. t. 27; Lam. ill. t. 211. 
Limb of the calyx small, 5-cleft. Corolla rotate or urceolate, 5-cleft ; the 
lobes obtuse. Stamens 5. Style wanting. Stigmas 3, sessile. Berry round- 
ish, scarcely crowned with the limb of the calyx, pulpy, 1-celled, 3-5-seed- 
„€d. Podosperms in the axis of the berry. Seeds oblong, angled on one side. 
—Shrubs or herbaceous plants with a heavy swell. Leaves opposite, une- 
. qually pinnated ; the divisions toothed or serrated, sometimes again pinnated
