140 LXXXIV. APOCYNACE# (STAPF). | Conopharyngia. 
solid, barren; filaments reduced to a callous swelling; filamental ridge 
usually distinct. Disc 0. Carpels 2, free; style filiform to columnar, 
short (at least comparatively) ; stigma cylindric, grooved, with an entire 
or lobed projecting rim or short frill at the base and a minute 2-lobed 
apiculus, more rarely (Sect. Leptopharyngia) elliptic or globose, 
delicately papillose, not grooved, with a usually toothed rim at the 
base and a conspicuous 2-fid papillose apiculus as long as or longer than 
the rest of the stigma. Mericarps baccate, usually more or less globose 
or ovoid, smooth, rarely keeled or warty and tardily dehiscent when 
drying up. Seeds numerous, embedded in a usually fleshy pulp, more 
or less ellipsoid, deeply grooved ventrally ; testa crustaceous ; endosperm 
fleshy, ruminate ; cotyledons ovate, longer or shorter than the radicle. 
—Trees, often tall, or shrubs. Leaves opposite, more or less coriaceous, 
sometimes very large; axillary stipules distinct, very obtuse, united into 
a very short tubular sheath, usually with very numerous resiniferous 
glands within. Inflorescences terminal or pseudo-axillary, cory ae 
rarely panicled or reduced to few-flowered cymes. Flowers large an 
showy to middle-sized, rarely small, usually white and fragrant.—
