or from disappearance of septum, 1. Seeds oo ; albumen fleshy; 

 embryo small. — Erect or climbing shrubs, glabrous or variously pilose ; 

 leaves opposite, petiolate or sessile or connate (Caprifoliiim ^), entire 

 or on some branches lobed or pinnatifid ; flowers ^ in contracted cymes ; 

 cymes axillary or spuriously verticillate {Capri folium), or (Xylosteoji^) 

 reduced to 2 flowers, at germens free or more or less or quite connate, 

 stipitate or sessile ; bracts free or connate under flowers. (All ivann 

 and temp, regions of the north, hemisph."^) 



199. Triosteum L.^ — Flowers (nearly of Lonicera) irregular ; 

 receptacle ovoid. Calyx lobes 5, short or elongate, subulate or folia- 

 ceous. Corolla unequally tubular-campanulate; tube oblique or slightly 

 curved, at base sometimes (anteriorly) gibbous ; lobes of obHque limb 

 5, unequal, imbricate. Stamens 5, inserted in tube ; filaments free ; 

 anthers introrse enclosed, 2-rimose. Germen inferior ; disk epigynous 

 small ; style slender enclosed, at stigmatose apex depressed capitate, 

 suborbicular or shortly 3-5 -lobed. Ovules in cells 3-5, solitary, de- 

 scending from top of internal angle ; micropyle introrsely superior. 

 Fruit fleshy or coriaceous, crowned with calyx. Seeds 2-5, descending, 

 smooth angular ; embryo small, albuminous. — Perennial herbs, gla- 

 brous or glandular-pilose ; leaves opposite, sessile, entire, obovate or 

 subfiddle-shaped ; flowers^ axillary solitary or glomerulate, sometimes 

 (from leaves changed to bracts) in short compound glomerulate spikes, 

 2-bracteolate. {Temp. N. America, temp, mount. Asia.')
