Botany. 342 LXIII. CELASTEINEiE. diclinism, hypocoroUism, isostemony, imbricate aestivation, several-celled and 1-ovuled ovary, anatropous ovules, very short style, drupaceous fruit, fleshy albumen, woody stem, alternate leaves, and axillary flowers. Celastrinece have, like Empetreee, small axillary flowers, polypetalous and isostemonous imbricate corollas, a fleshy disk, an ovary with several 1-ovuled cells, ascending and anatropous ovules, a sub-sessile lobed stigma, drupaceous fruit, albuminous seed, and straight and axile embryo. Celastrinee> chiefly differ in habit, stipu- late leaves, perigynism, introrse anthers, often 2-ovuled ovarian cells, and the fleshy aril of the seed. The few species of this family are dispersed over the Iberian peninsula. Central Alpine and North Europe, North America, and the Magellanic region. The leaves and drupes are acidulous; the fruits of JEmpetrum niffrum are eaten in the North of Europe for their antiscorbutic and diuretic properties. The Greenlanders ferment them, and obtain a spirituous liquor. From the drupes of Corema an acid drink is prepared in Portugal, and employed as a febrifuge in popular medicine. LXIII. CELASTRINE^.
