In some cases, like this, Callicarpa may be pentamerous, and 

 in this point, form a transaction into Geunsia. The two genera 

 may be distinguished, however, by the distribution of the leaves, 

 which are in Callicarpa always opposite, and in Geunsia always 

 opposite and alternate. 



As there are 5-mcrous Callicarpae, so there Eire also 4-merous 

 Geunsiae. Yet there are no doubtful cases, in regard of habit 

 and distribution of the leaves.
