Ruscus (an old Latin name). Liliaceae. Butcher's Broom. Erect shrubs with branched partially woody stems, hardy in southern Europe and the southernmost United States.
Leaves minute, bract-like, on lf.-like branches (cladodia) which are alternate, leathery, persistent, and sessile: fls. small, fascicled in the middle of the upper, rarely lower surface of the cladodia, dioecious: berry globose, pulpy, and indehiscent.—Three to 5 species, Eu., Madeira, and Caucasus. The foliage of this plant (Fig. 3511) is composed of lf.-like branches or clado-phylls, as in the florists smilax. Dried, bleached, and colored sprays (mostly dyed red) are now much used in florists' decorations.
