 twin, distinct, or joined together more or less ; 3-celled in the young state ; 

 rarely 2-celled in the adult state. The limb of the calyx is generally de- 

 ciduous, therefore the fruit is usually not crowned. (Dun's AiilL, iii. p. 446.) 

 Climbing or erect shrubs, with leaves never connate. In British gardens, 

 they are of the easiest culture, and extremely hardy,
