. The natural history of plants. Botany. Fig. 425. Fruit. a separate genus has been made,^ the apetalous, dioecious flowers have a small calyx and linear an- thers, exserted. This genus contains about fifty species,^ growing in Europe and North America and also .abounding in temperate Asia, the Himalayas, and Japan. Some are also found in Java. The leaves are op- posite, exstipulate, simple, entire, palmatilobate or palmati-partite, pinnate in Negundo. The flowers, which are precocious, axillary or terminal (green, yellow, reddish), are arranged in spiciform or corymbi- form clusters of cymes.

In connection with the Maples, Dobinea has been placed in this series. It is a a shrub from the mountains of India, having opposite simple leaves and tetra- merous male flowers, diplostemonous and double perianth, whilst the female flower has an unilocular ovary, with a descendent ovule, superior and interior micropyle, and no perianth; but the dry, compressed, marginated fruit, containing a seed whose embryo has flat oval cotyledons and an accumbent radicle, is adnate to a bract growing in a sub orbicular, membranous, veined wing resembling a samara.
