Lin. syst. Pentándria, Monogynia. Tube of calyx obo- 
vate, usually combined with those nearest it: limb short, hardly 
toothed. Corolla funnel-shaped, with a nearly terete tube, and 
a spreading, 5-lobed, rarely 4-lobed limb. Stamens 5, rarely 4; 
filaments short ; anthers inclosed, except in one species. Style 
filiform, usually exserted; stigma bifid, except in one or two 
species, in which it is entire. Berries containing 2-4 1-seeded 
pyrene each, usually combined, compressed or angular from 
being so close together, areolate from the vestiges of the calyx. 
Embryo terete, in fleshy albumen.—Shrubs or small trees, 
natives within the tropics. Leaves opposite, rarely 3-4 in a 
whorl. Stipulas intrapetiolar, usually obtuse and membranous. 
Peduncles solitary or numerous, axillary or terminal, sometimes 
combined at the base, when this is the case they are said to be 
branched. Flowers aggregate, sessile, upon a sub-globose 
naked receptacle, forming dense, globose, or ovate heads : having 
the berries at length combined into a spurious fruit or compound 
berry. The bark of the roots is styptic, and is used by dyers.

Anthers half hid in the tube of the corolla. Berries combined

employed by the natives of India to dye red. 
Var. B, papyracea (D. C. prod. 4. p. 446.) leaves oblong, 
acuminated at both ends, on long petioles, papery; stipulas 
triangular. h. S. Native of the East Indies, where it was 
collected by Labillardiere.

hardly acute ; stipulas broad, membranous, very blunt. R. G.

S. Native of the East Indies, almost every where. M. citri- 
fòlia, Hunt. in asiat res. 4. p. 35. Trunk seldom above a few 
feet in height, but supporting a pretty large shady head of 
branches. Leaves pale beneath, from 6-10 inches long. Pe- 
duncles supporting each an oval head of pure white jasmine-like 
sweet-scented flowers, Fruit like that of M. citrifola. The 
bark of the root is used to dye red; the colour is fixed with 
alum, but it is neither bright nor durable. In some parts of 
India it is cultivated for the sake of its roots. In the Circars 
the dyers use the bark of the fresh roots bruised and gently 
boiled in water for a short time. The cloth or yarn is prepare 
in a cold infusion of the powdered galls of Terminalia Chebila, 
in milk and water; it is then dried and moistened with alum 
water, and again dried, and receives from the above deod 
pretty bright but fugitive red. The green fruit are picke! y 
the Hindoos, and eaten with their curries. The wood is har 
and very durable, variegated with red and white, and is em- 
ployed for gun-stocks in preference to all other kinds.
