are, as well as the branches, glabrous; panicle terminal, fasti- 
giate; flowers and pedicels pubescent on the outside. h. S.

Long-leaved Stylocoryna. Shrub or tree. 
7 S.? Panpa'xr (D.C. prod. 4. p. 377.) glabrous; spines 
scattered; leaves oblong, minutely apiculated at the apex ; 
racemes axillary, short; pedicels in fascicles, 1-flowered; tube 
of corolla shorter than the lobes. h.S. Native of the East 
Indies. Gardénia Pandaki, Vahl, herb. ex Puer. Randia Mala- 
barica, Lam. Branches spinescent on one side. Leaves coria- 
ceous, an inch long, and 4 lines broad. Peduncles axillary, very 
short, bearing the pedicels in an umbel. Stigma oblong, un- 
divided. Fruit unknown. Perhaps sufficiently distinct from 
the following.

8 S. Maraza’nica (D. C. prod. 4. p. 877.) spines opposite, 
3 times shorter than the leaves; leaves oblong-obovate, obtuse, 
cuneated at the base, glabrous, beset with glandular pili in the 
axils of the veins beneath; umbels 8-10-flowered, almost termi- 
nating the branches ; flowers on short pedicels; limb of calyx 
5-toothed. b. S. Native of Coromandel and Malabar near 
Cochin, in arid places. Gardénia fragrans, Roxb. corom. t. 197. 
Posoquéria fragrans, Roxb. fl. ind. 2. p. 167. Flowers small, 
white, sweet-scented. Berry globose, size of a cherry, red, 2- 
celled. Seeds orange coloured. Perhaps G. fra,:ans, Roth, 
nov. spec. 150. is the same. The Benkara of Rheed. mal. cited 
by Lam. for this species, is a distinct plant, from the flowers being 
said to be purple. The shrub is well adapted for making hedges, 
being well armed with thorns.

Lix. syst. Pentdndria, Monogynia. Calyx with an ovate 
tube, and a tubular truncate or subdentate limb. Corolla sal- 
ver-shaped, not exceeding the tube of the calyx; limb large, 5- 
parted : segments ovate, acute. Anthers linear, sessile in the 
throat of the corolla, exserted. Stigma clavate, obtuse, undi- 
ee Berry corticate, somewhat 4-celled, crowned by the 
: e of the calyx, attenuated at both ends. Seeds numerous, 
peront, nestling in the pulp. Albumen cartilaginous. Em- 
ryo with a common radicle, and foliaceous cotyledons.—Trees. 
aves opposite, oval or oblong. Stipulas interpetiolar, ovate, 
eagle. deciduous. Flowers axillary or terminal, solitary or 
ew, white, at length yellow. Fruit when young yielding a black 
Juice. Génipa agrees with Stylocoryna in the undivided stigma, 
and with Gardenia in habit: but from both it is easily distin- 
guished by the truncate limb of the calyx and fruit. 
1 G. America'wa (Lin. spec. 251.) leaves oblong-lanceolate, 
quite glabrous on both surfaces; peduncles axillary, dichoto- 
mous, corymbose. I. S. Native of the Caribbee islands, as 
n St. Domingo, &c., and now cultivated in many parts for the 
sake of the fruit, especially in Brazil and Guiana. Plum. ed.

tuse, glabrous above, and clothed with velvety pubescence be- 
neath ; flowers by threes, almost terminal, on very short pedi- 
cels. h. S. Native of Cuba, about the Havannah. Flowers 
very like those of G. Americana, but are on shorter pedicels, and 
fewer in number ; and the leaves are broader and blunter,

4 G. ogronciroLia (Ruiz et Pav. fl. per. 2. p. 67. t. 220. 
f. a.) leaves oblong-ovate, obtuse, shining above, and downy on 
the nerves beneath, with rather revolute margins; flowers 
crowded at the tops of the branches, on short pedicels, and dis- 
posed somewhat racemosely. h.S. Native of Peru, on the 
Andes, in groves in hot places, and at Guayaquil. The corolla 
is said to be yellow, but is probably white in the recent state as 
in the rest of the species. Fruit size ofa peach. ‘lhe seeds and 
pulp of the fruit are used by the Indians to dye their face and 
hands of a permanent black colour.

flowered ; limb of calyx broadly truncate, ciliated, short; tube 
of corolla broad, conical, striated, horny on the inside at the 
base, and closed in the middle inside by a circle of hairs ; stigma 
thick, 2-lobed. h. S. Native of Brazil. Perhaps a proper 
genus. Leaves somewhat sinuated from some cause.
