The CALYCANTHACE are hardy perigynous exogens, eal known 
in the garden for their delicious fragrance and for their chocolate- 
coloured flowers, with segments overlying each other in several 
rows. They present an imbricated calyx and corolla which pass 
insensibly into each other, combining at the base into a thick 
flesh tube ; a small number of perigynous stamens with adnate 
anthers, with projecting connective; their hood presents four 
imperfect axes with concentric circles to each, lying at eq 
distances from the bark, which gives a square form to the 
circumference. Chimonanthus is called the Japan Allspice ; and

is sometimes used as & 
substitute for cinna- 
and probably of the 
Indian forests. They
