The leaves of this, in shape, nearly resemble those of the 

 preceding species ; but they are scarcely glandular. The fruit, 

 too, is very different, being not only extremely sharp at the 

 angles, but there is scarcely any sinus between the angles, 

 where the cocci join, as in all the other species ; so that a 

 section of this would describe an equilateral triangle with 

 straight sides : whereas, a section of the others would rather 

 represent 3 lobes, more or less acute.
