 Gynoecium 2-5-carpellary. Ovary inferior. Fruit baccate, drupaceous, 

 or capsular. 



Corolla rotate to urceolate : stigma 2-5-lobed, sessile.

Leaf-blades entire or toothed : drupelets with a single stone. 2. VIBURNUM. 



Corolla elongate, tubular to trumpet-shaped; limb sometimes 



2-lipped. 

 Flowers in pairs, each of which terminates an axillary peduncle, 



accompanied by a pair of bracts and bractlets. 3. NINTOOA.

 Anthers oblong or oval. Ovary 3-5-celled. Drupelets with 3-5 stones. 



1. S. intermedia Carr. Shrub or small tree: leaflets 5-11, the blades oblong to 

 ovate or oval, 3-14 em. long, serrate with incurved teeth: cymes merely convex: 

 corolla 5-6 mm. wide: drupes 4-6 mm. in diameter, deep-purple or nearly 

 black. ELDER. 



Swamps, woods, and hammocks, nearly throughout the mainland of Fla. (Cont,, 

 W. I.) 



2. VIBURNUM [Tourn.] L. Shrubs or trees, the stems not pithy. Leaf- 

 blades simple. Flowers in round-topped cymes. Sepals minute. Anthers 

 oblong. Ovary 1-celled. Drupelets with a single stone. Spr.-sum. ARROW-
