This is only known from some fruits drawn by Delpy from a specimen in Pierre’s 
Herbarium. The fruits are conico-cylindrical, truncate at both ends, 23 in. long and 
1-1} in. in diam, The seeds are semiglobose or oblong or wedge-shaped. I suspect 
it is a species of Carpodinus. 
4. CARPODINUS, R. Br.; Benth. et Hook. f. Gen. Pl. ii. 693. 
Calyx small; sepals 5 or 4, ovate; hairy, rarely glabrous, eglandular. 
Corolla salver-shaped; tube cylindric, 4-12 lin. long, rarely shorter, 
usually slender, widened and staminiferous just below the mouth; . 
mouth naked, often much constricted by a callous ring ; lobes 5, narrow, 
overlapping to the left. Stamens included; filaments very short, 
slender; anthers lanceolate, acute, obscurely 2-lobed at and dehiscent 
to the base. Disc 0. Ovary entire, hairy, rarely glabrous ($ Stereonewron), 
1-celled ; placentas 2, parietal ; style filiform, very slender, usually long; 
stigma surrounded by the anthers, more or less annulate at the base, 
ovoid-subulate or conical above, bifid; ovules numerous, pluriseriate. 
Fruit a globose, ovoid, conical or pear-shaped berry, sometimes very 
large. Seeds not very numerous, embedded in a juicy pulp, ovoid, com- 
pressed or irregularly flattened; albumen bony ; cotyledons foliaceous, 
very thin; radicle short,—-Hairy or glabrous shrubs, usually climbing 
with flagelliform (often hook-branched) terminal or axillary tendrils, 
rarely undershrubs throwing up fresh shoots yearly. Leaves opposite, 
very rarely 3—4-nate, usually middle-sized, rarely up to 12 in. long or 
below 2 in.; secondary nerves usually distant, never very close ; axillary 
stipules 0 ; axillary glands subulate, usually few and short in § Djeratonia 
(except C. rufinervis), very obscure in some species of § Anichined, 
otherwise 0. Flowers middle-sized, rarely Jess than 3 in. long in the 
mature bud, usually sessile or subsessile, solitary or in axillary much 
contracted few-flowered clusters, rarely distinctly or even long pedicelled, 
and solitary or in axillary and terminal or exclusively terminal very 
few-flowered cymes. 
Over 25 endemic species, some incompletely known. 
*DseRaTontaA.—Climbing shrubs. Leaves opposite, glabrous or hairy below; 
secondary nerves distant, oblique, about 4-8 on each side, much raised below, connected 
by bold arches rather remote from the margins; midrib finely channelled above, much 
raised below, Flowers sessile or subsessile in axillary clusters. Ovary hairy.
