—Stylocorina, Labill. sert. caled. p. 47. but not of Cav. 
Lin. syst. Pentdndria, Monogynia. Calyx with an ovate 
tube, and a very short 5-toothed limb. Corolla sub-rotate, 
with a short tube, which is pilose inside, and a 5-lobed limb ; 
lobes valvate in estivation, linear-lanceolate, with inflexed edges. 
Stamens 5, inserted in the throat of the corolla; anthers linear, 
exserted. Style clavate, undivided. Berry glabrous, crowned 
by the teeth of the calyx and urceolus, 4-celled ; cells many- 
seeded. Seeds minute, elliptic, nestling in the pulp.—A gla- 
brous unarmed shrub. Leaves opposite, obovate-oblong, cori- 
aceous, on short petioles. Stipulas broad, short, apiculated. 
Flowers disposed in a terminal somewhat thyrsoid corymb.— 
This genus differs from Stylocoryna in the fruit being 4-celled, 
not 2-celled as in that genus. 
1 O. corymsòsa (D.C. prod. 4. p. 440.). 
of New Caledonia. Stylocorina corymbdsa, Labill. sert. cal.

Corymbose-flowered Olostyla. Shrub 5 to 6 feet. 
Cult. A mixture of loam, peat, and sand will suit this shrub; 
and cuttings will root in sand under a hand-glass. Itis a very 
pretty shrub, and therefore worth cultivating.
