22. CALLICHILIA, Stapf. 
Calyx small to middle-sized (up to 6 lin. long), herbaceous to sub- 
coriaceous ; sepals 5, free, ovate or oblong, rarely lanceolate, often 
unequal, each with several small glands inside the base. Corolla salver- 
shaped ; tube slender and cylindric from the base to or somewhat beyond 
the middle, then more or less widened and cylindric or narrowly funnel- 
shaped ; lobes broad, large, asymmetric, overlapping to the left, not in- 
flexed in bud. Stamens inserted at the constriction of the corolla-tube; 
anthers conniving in a cone, free from the stigma, lanceolate-oblong, 
acute, 2-lobed to subsagittate at the base ; lobes or tails obtuse or sub- 
obtuse, horny, solid ; filaments short, distinct, filiform, rarely reduced to 
large disc-like body. Disc annular, free, fleshy, more or less wavy or lobed. 
Carpels 2, free. Style filiform ; stigma shortly subulate or cylindric, 2-fid, 
papillose, with a large wavy and lobed fleshy viscous ring at the base or 
clavate with a grooved thickening at the base ; ovules numerous, pluri- 
seriate. Mericarps 2, free, baccate, divaricate, obliquely ovoid, rostrate, 
tardily dehiscent (?) ; pericarp thin, leathery when dry. Seeds ellipsoid, 
deeply grooved, coated with a thin aril; testa crustaceous, honeycombe¢, 
with the pits in longitudinal rows ;.endosperm almost horny, scarcely 
ruminate ; cotyledons flat, much shorter than the radicle.—Erect oF 
climbing, glabrous shrubs. Leaves opposite, papery or herbaceous; 
axillary stipules short, joining across the stem ; axillary glands minute. 
Inflorescences usually apparently inter-axillary, near to or somewhat 
remote from the tips of the branches, or sometimes obviously terminal, 
few- to 10-flowered, racemiform or umbelliform ; rhachis very short, 
finally covered below with the persistent bracts and large scars of the 
fallen flowers. Flowers showy, white, fragrant.—T7abernemonian4, 
Benth. et Hook. f. Gen. Pl. ii. 706 partly. 
Species 5, mostly closely allied, endemic. 
C. Barteri and C. subsessizis are extremely similar in external appearance ; the 
shape of the filament is, however, entirely different, and the stigma of C. Bartert \s, 
so far as I have been able to make out its shape (it is buried in a drop of an extremely 
sticky matter), more like that of a Conopharyngia. 
*LABANTHERA.—Filament short, filiform, not thickened at the top, inserted at 
the forking point of the anther-tails. Stigma shortly subulate or cylindric, 2-fid, 
papillose, with a wavy and lobed fleshy viscous ring at the base. 
Corolla-tube up to more than 2 in. long, staminiferous 
above the middle... : : : : . 1. CO. monopodialis.
