It grows up to a low tree, about twelve or hfteen 

 feet high. The bark is rough, and full of deep 

 fiflures. The leaves grow in pairs, on long foor- 

 ftalks. They are divided about half-way down 

 into three lobes, the latter ones again fubdivided 

 into two leffcr ones, and the middle one into 

 three, all of them obtufc. The flowers are 

 greenifli, and grow at the fummits of the
