 stam. 4, ov. immerse in disco,stylo 1, stig. 4fidum 

 Drupa ! subinfera vel adherens 4sperma I — If as 

 Cramer and Persoon assert this G. has an ad-

 Ad. was Ceanothus L. 



149. Ziziphus T, Ad. Lam. Dec. Vitm. ^c, 

 blended in Girtanneria and Berchemia by 

 Necker, only a subg. in Persoon, containing 

 nearly all the Rhamnus Sp. with a bilocular 

 drupe ; but there are yet some G. mixt with it.
