CALYCIFLOR/E 
111 its mode of growth, it resembles the preceding. 
Branches glabrous, angular, coloured, armed with re- 
curved prickles. Leaves pinnato-ternate ; leaflets ovate 
attenuated at the apex, sharply serrated, armed on the un- 
der surface of the mid-rib with curved prickles, glabrous. 
Stipules setaceous. Flowers panicled, numerous, while, 
with a purplish tinge; branches slightly woolly. Caly- 
cino segments lanceolate, slightly woolly. Fruit smaller 
than in the preceding species, but of a deeper purple. 
This is very readily distinguished lrom the preceding 
species by the almost entire absence of woolliness, and by 
the purple tinge of the branches and panicles. 
ORDER LXVI. GRANATEiE. 
Calycine tube turbinate j limb 5-7-fid ; aestiva- 
tion valvular. Petals 5-7 Stamens oo ; anthers 
on the forepart of the filament, 2 -celled, Style 
filiform ; stigma capitate, papillose. Fruit crown- 
ed with the subtubulose limb of the calyx, and 
with the outer rind formed by the same 5 indehis- 
cent, divided into two unequal chambers by a 
horizontal diaphragm 5 the upper chamber subdi- 
vided by membranaceous partitions into 5-9 cells 5 
the lower one into 3 cells. Seeds innumerable, 
berried in a pellucid subcristalline pulp, exalbu- 
minous 5 embryo oblong *, radicle short, straight 5 
cotyledons leafy, spirally convoluted. 
Low trees or shrubs, with branches subtetragonal and 
subspinescent ; and with leaves impunctate, and destitute 
of a marginal nerve. — This order was established by Mr. 
Don, and has been adopted by De Candolle. It compre- 
hends only two plants, the common and the Dwarf Pome- 
granate. They have been more recently replaced among 
the Myrtaceae, and Dr. Lindley has given it as his opinion, 
that they do not require to be distinguished from the true 
members of that tribe, even as a section. Notwithstanding 
this, I prefer, for obvious reasons, retaining the arrange- 
of De Candolle.
