 Ifts. 16-29-yoked, linear, acute, the outer larger : heads

CALLICABPA (Greek, heauty and fruit). VerhenA- 

 ceie. Shrubs or trees, mostly with rough, stellate hairs: 

 Ivs. opposite, usually dentate and deciduous : fls. small, 

 perfect, in axillary cymes ; corolla with short tube, i- 

 lobed ; stamens 4: fr. a small, berry-like drupe, red, 

 lilac or violet, with 2^ seeds. About 30 species in trop. 

 and subtrop. regions of Asia, Australia, N. and C. Amer. 

 Some species are cult, chiefly for their decorative fr., 

 profusely produced in fall ; the hardiest are C. pur- 

 purea and C. Japonica, and they may be grown even 

 north in sheltered positions, if somewhat protected dur- 

 ing the winter. If killed to the ground, young shoots 

 spring up vigorously, and will produce fls. and fr. in the 

 same season. If grown in the greenhouse, they require 

 a sandy compost of loam and peat, and plenty of light 

 and air. Prop, readily by greenwood cuttings in spring 

 or summer under glass, also by hardwood cuttings, layers 

 and seeds.
