FIG. 103. 
—A shrub, with villous branch- 
lets. Leaves elliptic, obtuse, pu- 
berulous, on short petioles, reti- 
culated beneath. Stipulas cori- 
aceous, acute, sheathing at the 
base. Flowers 1-3 together, on

opposite, on short petioles, ovate-oblong, attenuated at both 
ends, glabrous. Stipulas unknown. Corymbs terminal; pedicels 
2-3-flowered. Flowers white. This genus is nearly allied to 
Palicùrea, if the fruit be 2-celled, but if it be 5-celled it is more 
nearly allied to Nonatélia; but in the form of the stigma it 
agrees with Cuviéra.

Lin. syst. Penténdria, Monogy'nia. Calyx with a short tube, 
and a 5-parted limb: lobes linear, acute, foliaceous, spreading, 
3 times longer than broad. Corolla campanulate, 5-cleft; lobes 
linear, very acute, hardened, and therefore spinescent? Anthers 
5, inclosed in the throat; filaments very short. Stigma large, 
dilated, cup-formed, obtuse, and somewhat pentagonal, with re- 
flexed edges. Fruit baccate, 5-celled; cells 1-seeded.—A 
glabrous shrub, with diverging branches. Leaves oval-oblong, 
acute, almost sessile. Stipulas combined into a short bidentate 
sheath. Panicles terminal, corymbose. The corolla has a mem- 
brane on the inside, which is separable from it, and this mem- 
brane is probably furnished with the stamens. Ovarium desti- 
tute of the urceolus at the apex.

Lin. syst. Pentdndria, Monogy'nia. Calyx with a turbi- 
nate tube, which is adnate to the ovarium, and a very short 
hardly 5-toothed limb. Corolla with a short broad tube, fur- 
nished with one series of retrograde scarious stiff hairs inside, 
which is perhaps the loose jagged part of a membrane inside the 
tube ; lobes 5, acuminated, valvate in estivation, but at length 
spreading. Stamens 5, inserted in the throat of the corolla 
between the lobes; filaments short, slender. Style filiform, 
tumid in the middle, and hispid. Stigma ovate, truncate at the 
base, almost cup-shaped. Ovarium 1-celled? many seeded? 
Fruit unknown.—A glabrous shrub, native of India, with slender 
branches. Leaves oblong, acuminated, acute at the base, on 
very short petioles. Stipulas acute, short, deciduous. Race- 
mules 3-4-flowered, short, axillary or rising from very short 
branchlets, bracteolate, much shorter than the leaves.—-This 
genus is nearly allied to Cuviéra and Stigmanthus, but differs 
from both in the truncate calyx, which is 5-parted in those 
genera; from Cuviéra in the limb of the corolla being un- 
armed, in the tube being pilose inside, not clothed by a mem- 
brane, in the form of the stigma, and perhaps of the fruit; and 
from Stigmdnthus in the tube of the corolla being short, not 
long, in the style being tumid in the middle, and in the ovarium 
being turbinate, not roundish.
