3 LINNZA Gronoy. L. Gen ed. i, 118. (Twin-FLowr. ) 
Creeping or trailing evergreen herbs with broadly oval, spar 
ingly crenate leaves and showy, drooping flowers, on 2-flowered — 
peduncles. Calyx with the limb 5-parted into subulate-lanceo- 
late lobes constricted above, the globular: tube, deciduous from 
the fruit. Corolla campanulate-funnelform, not gibbous, almost 
equally 5-lobed. Stamens 4,2 long and 2 shorter. Ovary 3- 
celled, 2 of the cells containing several abortive ovules; the other 
with a solitary, suspended, perfect ovule, forming the single seed 
in the dry and indehiscent coriaceous 3-celled small fruit. Style 
exserted: stigmas capitate. 
L. borealis Gronoy. L. Fl. Lap. t. 12 f. 4. Somewhat pubescent; 
branches filiform, leaves round to obovate, 6-12 lines long, crenately few- 
toothed ; somewhat rugose-veiny, tapering into a short petiole: peduncles 
filiform, terminating, ascending, short leafy branches, bearing at summit 
a pair of small, leafy bracts and from the axil of each a filiform, 1-flow- 
ered pedicel, rarely the axis prolonged and bearing another pair of flow- 
ers: pedicels similarly 2-bracteolate at summit and a pair of larger ovate, 
glandular-hairy inner bractlets subtending the ovary, soon connivent over 
it or enclosing and even adnate to the akene-like fruit: flowers nodding: 
corolla purplish to rose-color or almost white, a half inch or less long Ps 
forests, California to Alaska and across the con inent 
L. longiflora. L. borealis var. longiflora Torr. Stems filiform, 1-4 feet 
long, trailing and sending up numerous erect, filiform branches: leaves 
round to obovate, crenate-toothed above, 4-12 lines long. narrowed below _ 
to a short petiole: peduncles filiform, 2-4 inches long, terminating the 
erect branches, 2-bracteate at the summit, 2-flowered; pedicels filiform, 
2-bracteolate and the flowers subtended by an involucel of two ovate, 
hairy bracts: corolla pink er rose-color, to nearly white, funnelform, 6-8 
lines long. In forests, Washington to California. 
4 SYMPHORICARPOS Dill. Elth. 371, t. 278. (SNowperry.) 
Low, branching shrubs with entire or lobed leaves on short 
petioles, scaly leaf-buds and 2-bracteolate small flowers, usually 
crowded in axillary or terminal spikes or clusters, rarely soli- 
tary. Calyx with a globular tube and 4-5-toothed, persistent 
limb. Corolla regular, not gibbous, from short-campanulate to 
salverform, 4-5 lobed. Stamens as many as lobes of the corolla, 
inserted on its throat. Ovary 4-celled; 2 cells containing a few 
sterile ovules, the alternate cells containing a single, suspended 
ovule. Fruit a globose, berry-like drupe containing 2 small and 
seed-like, bony, smooth nutlets, each filled by a seed.
