118 KEY AND FLORA 
Calyx tube 5-cleft, its lobes epigynous. Petals oblong. Styles 
5, united below; ovary 5-celled, 2 ovules in each cell, often 
only 1 maturing. Fruit small, berry-like.* 
1. A. canadensis Medic. Servick Berry, JUNEBERRY, SHAD 
Busn, SuGar PLtum, Sugar Pear, Witp Pear. A small tree,

very perfectly detined. Probably more than 60 species occur 
within the limits of this flora. ] 
VI. FRAGARIA L. 
Perennial scape-bearing herbs, with runners. Leaves with 
3 leaflets; stipules united to the petiole. Flowers (of Ameri-
