About a half-dozen species of climbing herbs or sub- shrubs, from Madagascar to Austral., one of which is offered in Calif. Lvs. alternate: fls. dioecious or perfect, numerous and small, in terminal spiciferous panicles; parts of fl. 5, spreading under the succulent indehiscent fr.; stamens 5, united into a ring. D. baccata, Moq. (D. celosioides, R. Br.), in Austral., E. Indies and elsewhere, is a smooth woody climber, 10-12 ft.: Ivs. ovate or ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, entire: fls. in slender interrupted spikes 1 ft. or less long, greenish white: berry red, nearly globular, ¼ in. or less diam. B.M. 2717. The plant offered as D. variegata, described as a slender-growing shrub that will climb if shoots are trained up, long spikes of white fls., and lvs. margined with white, is probably a form of this species, or it may be Bosea Amherstiana (D.
