MEZEREON : GUELDER ROSE 



Fig. 119. Sea Buckthorn, Hippophae rhamnoides. A, <? , and jB, $ 

 flowering shoots ; C, <? , and D, ? flower in longitudinal section ; E, 

 fruit in vertical section ; F, one of the peltate scales (E and P). 



Daphne Mezereum, L. (Fig. 120) with a red, very 

 poisonous 1-stoned inferior drupe comes here. 



I~l n Drupe globoid, shining red, with a flat 

 cordate stone. 



Viburnum Opulus, L. Guelder Rose (Fig. 121). The 

 berry-like fruit, 8 12 mm. in diameter, has watery juice, 

 and contains a flat, brown, ovate-rotund stone, pointed 

 above and cordate at the base, 8 10 x 3 4 mm. 



Perhaps Gomus sanguined, L. which has only one stone 

 but encloses two seeds, should come here : the fruits are 

 black. See p. 133. 



Crataegus Oxyacantha, L. sometimes has but one stone 

 in the red hypanthium ; in that case it may be looked for 

 here (see p. 134).
