Calyx double ; that of the fruit inferior, four-leaved ; the inner 

 leaves minute, acute, smooth, the two outer much larger, ellip- 

 tical, glandular ; that of the flower superior, of one leaf, deeply 

 divided into five erect, lance-shaped, acute, equal segments. 

 Corolla of one petal, bell- shaped, with the tube cylindrical, 

 dilated upwards, about twice as long as the upper calyx, the limb 

 divided into five nearly equal, spreading segments. Filaments 

 awl-shaped, arising from the base of the corolla, shorter than its 

 limb; anthers oblong, compressed. Germen globular, three- 

 celled. Style cylindrical, as long as the corolla, declining; 

 stigma obtuse. Berry dry, oblong, one-celled, invested by the
