Leaves dotted from glands beneath, 3—S-lobed. Racemes loose. Bracteas minute, subulate or obtuse, much shorter than the pedi- cels. Petals oblong. Calyx campanulate, with reflexed segments. Flowers whitish, or yellowish green. Calyx often of a rich brownish red colour, or pink. Stamens sometimes more than 5, in which case there are fewer petals ; so that when there are 10 stamens there are no petals. This change of petals into stamens k just the reverse of the process by which single flowers become double; and it is the only fact of the kind which has hitherto been observed. Stigmas bifid. Berries globose, black, glandular. (Don's Mill.) A shrub with smoothish branches, strong-smelling Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitall
