a tooth; they are covered with viscidity, and being gene- 
rally fascicled, give the bush the appearance of some species 
of Berberis; the racemes are represented by Mr. Rudge

which characters are at variance with the plant before us. 
We have examined cultivated and wild specimens of other

depend upon cultivation. 
Branchlets smooth, obtusely ‘triquetrous, red. Leaves 
obovate, mucronate, coriaceous, slightly pubescent, some>

cious. ° Anthers large, purple. Stigmas filiform, red.
