. The natural history of plants. Botany. Fig. 53. Long. sect, of fr uit. Fig. 51. Long. sect, of flower. Fig. 52. Dried fruit. Fig. 60. Flower {%). Microrhamnus, a prickly shrub of Texas, with small ericoid leaves, solitary fiowers and an ovoid drupaceous finally dry fruit, with an osseous monospermous putamen and basilar cupule, has been asso- ciated with these; but in our opinion it is only a species of Con- dalia with the fiower destitute of petals, an abnormal type (which might strictly constitute a separate series) whose axillary flowers, solitary or collected in small cymes, have a receptacle in the form of a hollow cup, lined with a thick flattened and pentagonal disk. The corolla is almost always wanting, and the ovary is reduced to a single cell into which a parietal placenta advances, forming an incomplete partition on each side of which is an ascending ovule, with the micropyle turned to the side of the placenta. The fruit is drupaceous. The Condalias inhabit the warm and temperate regions of the two Americas..
