3. K. glomerata, Hook. & Arn. in Bot. Beech. p. 85.— A rambling glabrous 
shrub, 6—8 ft. long, with terete, hollow, subherbaceous branches which 
are distantly foliose and compressed toward their ends, the longest in- 
ternode (below the first pair of flower-branches) 3—5‘. Leaves oblong- 
lanceolate, 3—5' >< 8/4—11/2', shortly petiolate, acute or caudato-acuminate, 
rounded at the base or suddenly oe into the short margined petiole, 
thick fleshy, glabrous underneath; the upper floral leaves ovate, shortly 
petiolate. Stipules triangular, spaavily sheathing. Inflorescence thyrsoid, 
the distant cymes glomerate from the axils of the upper 3 or 4 pairs of 
reduced Jeaven, on short puberulous ead the lowest not exceeding 
‘/2—1'/2' when with fruit, the flowers clustered on pedicels of 1/2—1!/2”. 
Bractlets small dentiform. Calycine lobes acute, as long as the tube or 
shorter. orolla greenish-yellow, puberulous, its slender tube 6”, the 
lo j2—2", not inflected at the tips. Anthers linear, sessile at the 
throat. Style hairy below, 1/2 the length of the tube, its 2 lobes very 
short subulate. Capsule obconical or subglobose, 1'/2—2”, slightly 
grooved on each side, flat at the top. Seeds compressed and margined

the branches more slender and the internodes longer. Leaves as in no. 3,

thyrsoid, but less compact, the clustered cymes on longer peduncles, the 
lowest 1!/2—2! long, with often secundiflorous branches, the lateral florets
