nate the branches in corymbose racemes. The heads 
of flowers are hemispherical, and appear to have been 
yellowish-green. The calyx is campanulate, with 
acute and very distinct teeth; the corolla is mono- 
petalous, more widely campanulate at the summit, 
twice as long as the calyx, with acute segments. The 
pods are dark purplish-brown, much curved, 3 to 4 
inches long, about 4 an inch wide, attenuated at the 
base, torulose and irregularly narrowed between the 
seeds, but not intercepted within. The seeds are deep 
black, somewhat compressed, and at one extremity half 
covered by a bright rose-red fleshy and lobed arillus.
