Foliaceous tranoh (A). filiform at its sti^i;matiferous extremity. The fruit is formed of a great number of st^pitate drupes, collected on a spherical receptacle, and the fleshy mesocarp thickens only at the edges in a sort of forceps with elastic branches which drive and project the putamen as the seeds, analogous to those of the Mulberries, mature. Maclura differs very little from Broussonetm, of which it has the flower and male inflorescence. But the female flowers are destitute of a calyx with independent folioles, like that of the 10—2.
