Series B. jeignar  Re greenish white. 
YONONEURE. — Stout shrubs, with several stems. 
‘nnate. Leaflets with numerous, close, 
parallel, primary nerves, conspicuous on the up 
leaflet ; secondary nerves close, parallel, pubescent beneath. Ser- 
ratures of margin 1-2 only for each primary nerve.—In this section 
are collected three species, easily separ ated from all the rest, but 
very difficult to distinguish in the herbarium. 
11. L. crispa, Linn. Mant, 124.—Leaves all simply pinnate ; 
petioles and rhachises often winged ; leaflets: broadly oblong, very 
parallel-sided, acute or shortly acuminate ; ripe berries steel-gray.
