Datisca (old Greek name, applied to some doubtful plant). Datiscaceae. Tall perennial herbs, one of which is sometimes planted in gardens. Glabrous branching hemp-like plants with pinnately compound or ternately divided alternate lvs., the lfts. or seems, lanceolate and usually serrate or toothed: fls. usually dioecious, the staminate fascicled in the axils and short-pedicelled, the pistillate racemose on axillary branchlets; stamens in sterile fl. 8-12-25, mostly opposite the calyx-lobes; stamens sometimes present in fertile fls. but few and perhaps alternate with calyx- lobes; ovary 3-angled at top, with 3 styles which are 2-parted: fr. a narrow ribbed many-seeded caps., opening between the styles at the top.—Species 2, one in S. E. Eu. and W. Asia, and the other in Calif. and Mex.; the former is in cult. abroad, requiring no special treatment; prop. by seeds and division. The family Datiscaceae is placed near Begoniaceae and Cactaceae. It comprises two other genera of tall trees, neither of which is recorded as in cultivation; these are Octomeles, with two species in the Malayan archipelago, and Tetrameles, with one species in East India to Java. D. glomerata, Brew. & Wats., the American species, is apparently not in cult.: 2½-4 ft., stout, glabrous, the sts. clustered: lvs. ternately divided or lobed: staminate fls. in clusters of 3; pistillate fls. 4-7 together or scattered along short branchlets. It is the durango-root of the Coast ranges and Sierra Nevada. CH
