Spec. Char., §c. Asin Gen. Char. A large, rambling, sub-evergreen shrub, 
Nepal, on mountains ; between 6000 ft. and 8000 ft. high, among forests 
of pine and oak. Height in England, against a wall, 6 ft. to 8 ft. Introduced 
in 1824. Flowers white, with a tinge of purple; August to October. Fruit 
purple; ripe in October. 
Trained against a wall, this shrub has proved quite hardy, but in our cloudy 
atmosphere it has rather disappointed expectation in the colour of its bracteas, 
which are much less brilliant than they appear to be in the Himalayas. Cut- 
tings or seeds, which are ripened freely, in common soil. 
Orpvrr XLI. RUBIA‘CE. 
Orn. CuaR. Calyx with a variable limb. Corolla monopetalous, with a 
- variable limb, but generally 4—5-lobed ; estivation twisted or valvate, 
Stamens equal in number to.the segments of the corolla, and more or less 
adnate to its tube. Anthers introrse. Ovarium 2- or many-celled, crowned 
by the limb of the calyx. Style 1. Stigmas 2. Fruit baccate or capsular. 
Cells \—2- or many-seeded. Albumen horny and fleshy. (G. Don.) 
Leaves simple, opposite, or 3 in a whorl, stipulate, deciduous.  Sti- 
pules short, distinct, or a little combined. Flowers on peduncles, naked, 
rising from the axils of the leaves, or from the tops of the branches ; heads 
globose, in consequence of the flowers being sessile, and seated on a sessile 
piliferous receptacle. 
This order includes a great number of genera; but there is only one of 
these that contains any ligneous species truly hardy in British gardens.
