CALLICOCCA. 



rouniil'h. A native of Coclu'iichiiia and China. 13. C. 

 pjiihuLij, La Marck, Encyc. " Leaves ohlong, lanceolate, 

 very entire, downy un.ltrncath ; flowers very niimeroiis, in 

 tcriiiinating pa'ilclcs." Branches woody, flightly four-an- 

 L'lcd ; two ot the oppofite fides larger than the others, cloth- 

 ed with a fnort down ntnr the fimmiit. Leaves oppofite, pe- 

 tiolcd, fmooth, and wrinkled above, downy, and white un- 

 derneath, three or four inches long, fix or feveii lines broad. 

 FL'-i'trs fmall ; calyx lliort, downy ; corolla a little larger 

 than the calyx ; (lan.ens a little longer than the corolla ; genn 

 fupeiior ; llyle very (hbrt ; bratUs very fmall, ftraight, 

 pointed, one at each divilion of the peduncles. A native of 

 Africa, about the Cape of Good Hope. Communicated by 

 Sonnerat. As La Marck is unacquainted with the fruit, he 

 docs not abfoliiiely pronounce it a callicarpa, but obTerves, 

 that if its fiiiit be not a four-fecded berry, it will probably 

 proves budltia. In the Ilhiftrations of genera, publiflied 

 afterwards, he cxpreflcs a doubt whether it be not fcoparia 

 arborea of the Suppltmentum Planlaium ; but in that cafe, 

 the leaves mull be aliernaie, and not oppofite, as he has de- 

 fcribed them.
