surmounted by a dilatation of the connective ; tlie carpels also oi" 

 variable number ; the numerous ovules inserted on the inner angle ; 

 the compound fruit consistinf^ of many-seeded berries, with the peri- 

 carp but little or not at all strangulated in the intervals between 

 the seeds. The species not belonging to this section are dis- 

 tinguished by the strangulations being, on the contrary, very well 

 marked, so that each berry looks like a chaplet with a variable 

 number of seeds. Each compartment contains a single suspended 

 seed, with ruminated albumen (tigs. 2'67, 23s). 



Under the generic name of Cmianga^ has been distinguished an 



Uiiona tliscolur.
