 ripened wood in fall. The evergreen species grow 

 readily from cuttings of half-ripened wood under glass 

 in fall or during the winter in the greenhouse. Varie- 

 ties are sometimes grafted or budded on stoclc of their 

 typical species. About 40 species are known in the 

 northern hemisphere, extending also from S. Asia to 

 Australia. Shrubs or small trees, with usually more or 

 less quadrangular branches and opposite, usually gla- 

 brous and serrate Ivs.: fls. small, in axillary cymes,
