. The classification of flowering plants. Plants. 456 FLOWERING PLANTS occurrence of small crystals of calcium oxalate. The flowers are small, generally in a compound raceme as in Syringa, Ligustrum, Fraxinus; in Fraxinus the dense inflorescences of small polygamous flowers appear before the leaves from lateral or terminal buds on last year's shoots. In the Chinese genus Forsythia, cultivated in shrubberies, and in Jasminum nudiflorum (China), common in gardens, the bright yellow flowers, which also appear before the leaves, stand one to three together at the end of short scale-bearing shoots.

(A, D-F after Knoblauch; B, C after Eichler.) flower stands in the axil of a bract and a pair of bracteoles are typically present; but both bracts and bracteoles are often very caducous. The flowers are generally bisexual, but Fraxinus is polygamous or dioecious, as also are species of Olea. The calyx is absent in Fraxinus excelsior (fig. 216, G) and other species of the genus; when present it is usually tetra- merous, the sepals being median and transverse; when a fifth.
