Ochna multiflora, DC.

Upper Guinea. G.C. III. 40:212. J.H. III. 44:209. G.W. 2, p. 328 —0. multiflora is a greenhouse shrub cult, by a few fanciers for its remarkable appearance when in fr. The fls. are yellow, appear in spring, and are borne to the number of 10-15 in racemes terminating short lateral branches. The blossoms are short-lived, but the calyx is persistent. Its 5 sepals are greenish in fl.( but become a bright red in fr. The receptacle increases until it becomes an inch or so thick, globular and bright red. Upon it are borne black seedlike bodies, which are the carpels. The red and black make a fine contrast. This plant is best prop, by half-ripened cuttings struck in summer or autumn. It requires in England a winter temperature of 48-60°, and summer temperature of 60-85°; soil, fibrous loam with plenty of drainage.

Ochna multiflora, DC. Glabrous shrub, 4-5 ft. or more high: Lvs. oblong-elliptical to oblanceolate-oblong: petals sessile; anthers as long as the filaments, opening longitudinally, sepals in fr. about 4 lines long. Upper Guinea. G.C. III. 40:212. J.H. III. 44:209. G.W. 2, p. 328 —0. multiflora is a greenhouse shrub cult, by a few fanciers for its remarkable appearance when in fr.
