CoRNACEAE. 267 
GARRYA. 
(Family Cornaceae). 
Shrubs, sometimes grown in es- 
palier: evergreen. Twigs moder- 
ate, terete, for a time tomentu- 
lose: pith moderate, round, con- 
tinuous. Buds solitary, sessile, 
ovoid, with 1 or 2 pairs of ex- 
posed scales. Leaf-scars opposite, 
at first elevated but low after the 
fall of the deciduous base, angu- 
larly U-shaped: bundle-traces 3: 
stipule-scars lacking. Leaves sim- 
ple, entire, very short-petioled. 
This has been made the type 
of a distinct family, Garryaceae, 
which some botanists do not con- 
sider at all closely related to the 
Cornaceae. 
Most garryas are of the Pacific 
North American region. A single 
West Indian species has been sep- 
arated under the name Fadyenia; 
but the closeness of its relationship to the others is shown 
by the fact that it has been hybridized with G. elliptica. 
Leaves elliptical, crisped, tomentulose beneath. G. elliptica. 
Winter-characters of Marlea platanifolia, of the Corna- 
ceae, are given by Shirasawa, 238, pl. 2.
