Description, §c. A shrub, with the habit of the genuine species of Lycium, 
much branched, furnished with axillary spines. Leaves scattered, quite 
entire. Flowers from fascicles of leaves, or the revolute branchlets; or sub- 
corymbose from the tops of the branchlets: hence, they appear as if they 
were panicled at the tops of the branches. (Don's Mill., iv. p. 480.)
