Stems herbaceous, erect, 2-4 ft., pubescent, not cri>ped. Leaves membranous or 

 subcoriaceous when old. Cymes small, pubescent. Anthers distinct. Fruit the si/.c 

 of a large currant, black, succulent. Nearly allied to L. cripa, from which it may bo 

 always readily distinguished by the want of the crisped \vin-s on the stems and \

 dillcring only in the shorter broader and more sharply toothed leaves, and larger cymes.
