Lin, syst. Pentdndria, Monogy'nia. Calyx with a short 
tube, a 5-parted limb, and filiform segments. Corolla fun- 
nel-shaped, with a long tube, and 5 ovate-oblong spreading 
lobes. Stamens 5; filaments very short; anthers reflexed. 
Style filiform, longer than the corolla; stigma ovate, furrowed, 
large. Berry dry, tubercular, compressed, 1-celled. Seeds 
many, bony.—A climbing shrub, with glabrous lanceolate leaves. 
Cymes large, axillary, and terminal. Flowers white.—This 
genus is not sufficiently known ; it differs from Cuviéra in the 
I-celled fruit; and from Dondisia in the 5-parted calyx. Per- 
haps both this genus and Dondisia are referrible to Tribe Gar- 
deniacee, subtribe Gardeniée.

nulate, cleft in 5 parts beyond the middle; lobes acuminated.

what reflexed at the apex. Stamens 5; filaments very short, 
inserted in the bottom of the corolla, connate; anthers com-

5-celled inside ; cells regularly disposed, 3 external and 2 in- 
ternal. Style length of stamens. Stigma bifid; with the lobes 
erect and obtuse. Ovarium 2-celled; cells 1-ovulate. Drupe 
pea-formed, umbilicate, containing a 2-celled globose nucleus, 
rarely 1-celled from abortion.—A small shrub with a short stem. 
Leaves fleshy, 3 in a whorl, linear, obtuse, with revolute margins. 
Stipulas interpetiolar. Flowers small, disposed in short, nearly 
simple axillary racemes: having 2 opposite scale-formed brac- 
teas under each flower. 
1 S. maritima (Jacq. 1. c.) h.S. Native of Curacoa, on

Lin. syst. Penta-Hepténdria, Monogynia. Calyx with the

Leaves opposite, petiolate, elliptic, acutish, villous on the pe- 
tioles, margins, and the nerves on the under side of the leaves, 
the rest glabrous. Stipulas solitary at each of the nodi, pro- 
bably formed of 4, which are combined into a sheath, which is

Tribe VIII. 
PAEDERIE £ (this tribe agrees with Pedéria in important 
characters). D. C. prod. 4. p. 470.— Lygodysodeacee, Bartl. 
in herb. Henke, ex D. C. prod. 4. p. 470. Fruit 2-celled, 
indehiscent, hardly fleshy, and the rind is easily separated from 
the carpels or nuts, which are compressed, 1-seeded (f. 104. f.) 
and hanging from the central filiform axis. Albumen fleshy.— 
Climbing shrubs, with opposite leaves and interpetiolar stipulas,

Lin. syst. Pentándria, Monogy'nia. Calyx with an ovate 
globose tube, and a 5-toothed acute, permanent limb (f. 104. a.). 
Corolla having the tube much longer than the teeth of the calyx 
(f. 104. b.), with a hairy throat, and 5 somewhat revolute r 
(f. 104. ¢.). Anthers oblong, sessile within the tube (f. a 
e.). Style equal in length to the tube; stigmas 2, slender (f. 
104. d.), exserted. Fruit indehiscent, oval, somewhat ates 
pressed, shining, crowned by the calycine teeth (f. 104. g); T 
rind is crustaceous, and at length becomes brittle and breaks 
irregularly, and therefore is easily separated from the ano 
seeds. Carpels or seeds 2 in each fruit, indehiscent, oval IEE 
together, girded by a nerve-formed winged margin, hanging Dy @ 
thread from the base of the fruit, and. when the rind ae 
separated from them appear pendulous. Albumen a thin E y 
membrane, combined with the tegument of the carpeta OF 
wanting altogether. Embryo straight, with an inferior terete ra 
dicle, cordate foliaceous flat cotyledons, and an pan rr 
plumule.—Smoothish twining shrubs, holding the same sta ee 
in America as the genus Pedéria does in Asia. Stems er 
compressed. Leaves opposite, petiolate, cordate or Aesi pri 
minated. Stipulas very short, rather truncate, combine eat 
the petioles. Panicles few-flowered, loose, terminating m aa 
leaved, axillary branchlets, or axillary and Ea ea 
comes very near Pedéria, and might probably form a dist 
order with it from the distinct calyx and carpels.
