364 FLOWERING SHRUBS 



resemble those of Streptopiis amplexifolius, are oval and 

 strongly nerved, very pointed at the apex and rounded at 

 the base. The flowers usually grow in twos or threes at the 

 ends of the slender wand-like branches, where they hang 

 pendent on their thready stalks. They are creamy or green- 

 ish-yellow in hue, and have a floral cup that is cut into six 

 equal narrow segments and holds six long stamens, tipped by 

 large oblong anthers, and a three-lobed style.
