notches, subconglomerate, very shortly pedicled, purple, 
monoicous, sterile and fertile ones mingling toyether; the 
latter fewest. In the staminiferous flowers the calyx is of 
six pieces or leaflets and spreading: the 3 outer leaflets 
smaller than the others by one half, ovate and pointed, of

a palish red. Glands 6 ovate, deep crimson, at the leaflets 
of the calyx. Filamené cylindric, upright, purple, at. the 
top slightly trifid. -dnthers 3, twin, lobes roundish, yellow. 
In the pistilliferous flowers the calyx is the same as in the 
other, but a little larger; germen roundish, encircled by a 
crenulated ledge at the base; styles 3, reflex; stigmas 
bifid. 
The drawing was taken in the autumn, in the stove of
