 branches rather numerous. Flowers in fascicles on the raceme-like 

 branches, shortly pedicelled, "25 in. in diam. Calyx pubescent, with 5 

 deep ovate-rotund obtuse lobes. Petals 5, about as long as the calyx-

I have not seen tbe fruit of this, and the description above given is

Doubtful species.

I have not seen fruit of this ; but Radlkofer describes it as follows ; 

 — "frucfcus aculeis brevioribus e basi obconica filiformibus hamate 

 curvatis glabris laxius muricatis." The fruit thus attributed to the 

 species is however not attached to the branches in Griffith's specimens,
