 obtuse or acute, the terminal one 1 to 4in. long, the lateral ones shorter, or 

 rarely all, especially the lateral ones, oblong or elliptical. Flowers in axillary 

 trichotomous panicles, often numerous, but rarely exceeding the leaves. Calyx- 

 teeth exceedingly short. Corolla-tube under 3 lines long ; lobes 5 or 6, scarcely 

 shorter than the tube. Ovules solitary in each cell of the ovary. Berry simple 

 and ovoid or rarely didymous. — DC. Prod. viii. 311 ; Hook. Ic. PI. t. 831 ; J.
