+ Species not sufficiently known. 
33 M.? cromervra‘ra (Lam. in Poir. dict. 4. p. 393.) leaves 
ovate, acute, smoothish beneath, but clothed with fuscous velvety 
down above and on the petioles ; branches rather villous ; flowers 
terminal, glomerate ; calyx campanulate, with a 5-6-toothed limb. 
h. S. Native of French Guiana. Rodelétia glomerulata, 
Spreng. syst. 1. p. 707. Peduncles and calyxes beset with 
white silvery hairs. Corolla tubular, white, rather villous out- 
side. Stamens 5-6. 
Glomerate-flowered Musszenda. Shrub 5 to 6 feet. 
34 M. pviscotor (Pet. Th. in Willd. rel. ex Schultes, syst. 5. 
p. 254.) hairy; leaves scabrous, strigose above, and clothed

Two-coloured-leaved Musseenda, Shrub. 
35 M.? Curne’nsis (Lour. coch. p. 152.) leaves in fascicles, 
lanceolate, glabrous ; flowers solitary, terminal ; berries 4-celled, 
many-seeded. h.G. Nativeof China, in the suburbs of Can- 
ton. Calyx 5-parted, with lanceolate segments. Seeds bony, 
almost kidney-shaped. This is certainly not a species of Mus- 
senda. 
China Musseenda. Shrub 5 to 6 feet. 
36 M. xcuirolpes (Willd. rel. in Schultes, syst. 5. p. 254.)

37 M. terra’ypra (Schultes, syst. 5. p. 254.) leaves smooth, 
glabrous, acute; corymbs tripartite ; flowers tetrandrous. h. 
S. Native country unknown. Macrocnémum tetréndrum, Cav. 
ann. sc. ex Schultes. 
Tetrandrous-flowered Musseenda. Shrub. 
Cult. Some of the species of this genus are very pretty, 
and worth cultivating in collections. A mixture of loam and 
peat is the best soil for them; and cuttings are easily rooted 
in the same kind of mould under a hand-glass, in heat. 
XXVIII. KUTCHUBÆ'A (named after — Koutchouba, 
minister of the home department of Russia; a promoter of the 
sciences). Fisch. in litt. ex D. C. prod. 4. p. 373. 
Lin. syst. Octándria, Monogijnia. Calyx with a turbinate 
tube, and a tubular truncate limb, which is longer than the 
ovarium. Corolla with a cylindrical tube, much longer than 
the calyx, a villous throat, and an 8-parted limb, which is 
twisted in estivation; segments of corolla lanceolate, acu- 
minated. Anthers 8, almost sessile, oblong, acute, inserted in 
the throat of the corolla among the hairs. Style filiform; 
stigma large, clavate, with 2 lobes, which are applied to each 
other, hairy and convex on the outside, but flat and smooth on 
the inside. Fruit unkknown.—A glabrous tree, native of Guiana. 
Branches terete. Leaves obovate, bluntish, on short petioles. 
Stipulas ovate, broad, short, combined, permanent, sometimes 
bifid. Flowers terminal, somewhat corymbose, pedicellate, large, 
bractless. Corolla purple at the base and pale at the apex.— 
This genus comes very near Génipa and Cassipa; from the 
first it differs in the tube of the corolla being much longer than 
the calyx; and from the second in the calyx being tubular, and 
in the stigma being clavate; and from both in the greater num- 
ber of the parts of the flower. 
1 K. rsients (Fisch. l. c. with a figure). h. S. Native of 
French Guiana, where it was collected by Martin. A tall ele- 
gant tree. Tube of corolla 3 inches long, coriaceous.

Lin. syst. Hexdndria, Monogynia. Calyx with a globose 
tube and a short entire hardly perspicuous limb. Corolla much 
longer than the calyx, tubular, wrinkled on the outside, with a 
villous throat, and a 6-parted short limb; lobes acutish and 
spreading a little. Anthers 6, almost sessile, inserted in the 
throat of the corolla among the villi, Stigma bifid, slender, 
inclosed. Berry almost globose, crowned, 2-celled, many- 
seeded; placentas fixed to the middle dissepiment. Seeds mi- 
nute.—An American tree. Leaves obovate-oblong, on long 
petioles, coriaceous, rather tomentose, about a foot long. Thyrse .

Lin. syst. Pentdndria, Monogynia. Limb of calyx turbi- 
nate, urceolate, almost quite entire, deciduous. Corolla with a 
short tube, a 5-parted spreading limb, and a bristly throat. 
Stamens 5, seated in the mouth of the tube; filaments short; 
anthers linear, rather incumbent, exserted. Style short ; 
stigma thick, 2-lobed, exserted. Berry globose, umbonate, 
crowned by the circular base of the calyx, 2-celled, many- 
seeded ; placentas membranous, stipitate, rather fleshy, trans- 
versely lamellate. Seeds compressed.—Climbing shrubs, na- 
tives of Java. Leaves distich. Stipulas interpetiolar, undi- 
vided, or twin and rather concrete. Flowers rising from the 
axils of the leaves in dense corymbs, unilateral.—This genus 
comes near to Canthium and Bertiéra, but differs from them m 
the undivided limb of the calyx, and in the short tube of the 
corolla. os
