Long. sect, of seed. surmounted by a style the stigmatiferous head of which is sometimes obscurely bilobed. Each cell contains numerous- ovules, primarily descending, anatropous. The fruit, often surmounted by the calyx, is an elongate septicidal capsule, the seeds of which are bare, angular, or bordered with a wing,* sometimes narrow as in some Weigelas, and sometimes elongate, as in D. Middendorffiana (fig, 357-369), type of a genus Galyptrostigma. The ^mall embryo is surrounded by a fleshy albumen. Diervilla consists of erect or subsarmentose shrubs of China, Japan and North America. The leaves are opposite, sessile or petiolate, entire or serrate. The flowers ^ are in simple oy com- £ibl.
