SHAPE. 



As a rule the shape and sculpture of the fruit have been pretty clearly foretold 

 or indicated under Calyx-tube; see Part LVIII, p. 469, and it would be largely repetition 

 to deal with these fruits under Fruit, with the same amount of detail. I ask my 

 readers to refer to what was there said. Fruits vary, as do all other organs, and the 

 subject has several times been referred to, e.g., under E. pilularis, Part I, p. 28 

 (although we do not now consider the species to be so comprehensive) ; E. piperita, 

 Part X, p. 300; J?. Andrewsi, Part XLYI, p. 171. 



The urceolate shape is more or less a character of the Corymbosse, but it is by 

 no means confined to that Section, umigera and grandifolia being cases in point, while 

 we have many species with fruits more or less urceolate.
