Orver LXXXIV. APOCYNACEZ. (By Otto Stapf.) 
Flowers hermaphrodite, regular. Calyx inferior; sepals 5 (very 
rarely 4) free or slightly (rarely more) united, more or less imbricate, 
equal or more or less unequal, often with (usually scale-like) glands near 
the base inside. Corolla salver- or funnel-shaped, rarely campanulate, 
urceolate or subglobose, glabrous or more or less hairy within, some- 
times with scales or callous protuberances or ridges in the tube or 
mouth ; lobes usually convolute, overlapping and frequently also twisted 
to the right or to the left, very rarely valvate. Stamens 5 (very rarely 4), 
inserted in the corolla-tube or mouth: filaments filiform or more often 
flattened and short or reduced to’a callous swelling, often passing at the 
base into more or less decurrent ridges projecting into the tube (filamental 
ridges) ; anthers frequently conniving in a cone, either linear or oblong 
(rarely elliptic), shortly and obtusely 2-lobed at the base with the anther- 
cells parallel polliniferous and dehiscing to the base, or sagittate with 
barren tails (very frequently formed by the continuation of the outer halves 
of the cells), leaving the front basal part of the connective (foot) free; foot 
of the connective smooth or with various shaped projections or regular 
groups of spreading hairs. Pollen nearly always spherical with 3 pores, 
loose or rarely more or less cohering. Discif present annular or cupular, 
5-lobed or consisting of 2—5 scales, sometimes more or less adnate to the 
ovary. Ovary superior, or slightly inferior, of 2 (very rarely 3—5) 
united or distinct carpels, if synearpous, l-celled with parietal or 2-celled 
with central placentas, if apocarpous with ventral placentas. Style 1, 
entire or divided at the base ; stigma various, with or without a usually 
bifid apiculus and frequently with a ring or other appendages, viscous 
on the surface or exuding much glutinous matter and agglutinated to 
the anthers or adnate to the projections of the foot of the connective. 
Ovules anatropous, usually pendulous, few or many in each carpel.
