410 APOCYNE.E. 



petioled ; cymes lax, terminal ; calyx spreading, half as long as the corolla-tube j lomentum- 

 parts ovoid, flattisn-convex : seeds slightly transversly rugose. — Leaves 3V'-2i"> petiole 

 8"'-4'", cymes 1", corolla-tube 1'", lobes l'"long; flowers yellowish; lomentum 4-2(-6)- 

 jointed: parts 10"'-8"', narrow joints V"-\ m , seeds 6'" long. — Hab. Trinidad!, Cr., on 

 the seacoast at Irais ; [Guiana, Brazil]. 



8. CAMERARIA, L. 



Calyx 5-fid. Corolla salver-shaped : tube subcylindrical. Stamens inserted into the 

 slightly enlarged upper part of the corolla-tube : anthers subsessile : connective produced at 

 the summit into a long, setaceous appendage. Ovaries 2 : style filiform : stigma indusiate, 

 2-partite into conical segments. Samara with the wing terminal, elongated, abruptly dilated 

 at the base and lining the carpid. — Glabrous trees or shrubs ; leaves membranaceous, petioled; 

 cymes terminal, few-flowered : flowers white. 



18. O. latifolia, L. Leaves elliptical, pointleted: veins costale, approximate, con- 

 nected by a continuous, juxtamarginal arch. — Jacq. Amer. Pict. t. 39. — A large tree ; leaves 

 1 \", calyx 1'", corolla-tube 4'", lobes about 4"', samara 2", its carpid 8'" long ; anthers ob- 

 long, as long as their appendage. — Hab. Jamaica (Jacq.) ; [Cuba !, Haiti]. 



19. O. angustifolia, L. (exclus. syn. Plum.). Leaves lanceolate or oblong-linear, 

 blunt, emarginate at the top, shortly petioled : veins delicate, in a lax network. — If Plumier's 

 figure {Ed. Burm. t. 72. f. 2, possibly no congener) refers to another narrow -leaved Cameraria, 

 this may be named C. retusa.—k shrub 8' high (Mill.) ; leaves 12"'-10'" long, 4"'-2"' broad ; 

 calyx 1'", corolla-tube 4'", lobes 2'" long; anthers oval, somewhat shorter than their flexuose 

 appendage. — Hab. West Indies !, Lane ; Jamaica (Mill.). 



9. ANECH1TES, Gr. 



Calyx 5-partite. Corolla salver-shaped : tube subcylindrical. Stamens inserted into the 

 middle of the corolla-tube : anthers oblong : connective produced at the summit into a short, 

 setaceous appendage. Disk cupuliform, shortly 5-lobed, including the two ovaries: stigma 

 indusiate with a large ring, pubescent, 2-partite into oblong, blunt segments. Follicles sub- 

 cylindrical, many-seeded : seeds " with a terminal coma." — A scabrous vine ; leaves petioled, 

 opposite, but single at the origin of the cymes ; cymes racemiform, peduncled, opposite to 

 the leaves .- pedicels geminate : flowers white. 



This plant, presenting the habit and fruit of Echites, from which it is distinguished by the 

 anthers polliniferous to their base, may be regarded as a link between Echitece and such 

 genera as Neriandra or Cameraria : to the latter it approaches by the structure of the an- 

 thers, the stigma, and the sinistrorsely contorted corolla-lobes. 



20. A. asperuginis, Gr. — Echite3, Sw. ! — Hispidulous ; leaves 3"-2" long, ovate-ob- 

 long, cuspidate, arch-veined, membranaceous ; racemes l"-4" long, lax ; calyx eglandular, 

 1 V , corolla-tube 3 W , lobes 3'" long ; anthers included, thrice as long as the filaments and 

 the terminal mucro ; follicles hispid, linear. — Hab. Jamaica !, Sw., Wils.^ in dry pastures 

 near Bath ; [Cuba !, Haiti}. 



10. VINCA, L. 



Calyx 5-partite. Corolla salver-shaped, callous at the pubescent, narrow throat. Stamens 

 inserted into the upper part of the corolla-tube. Ovaries 2, slightly cohering, alternating 

 with 2 disk-glands : stigma indusiate. Follicles compressed-cylindrical, many-seeded. — 

 Suffruticose herbs ; flowers axillary. 



21. V. rosea, L. Erect, puberulous ; leaves spathulate-oblong ; flowers geminate, sub- 

 sessile, rosy (or white) ; calyx-segments lanceolate-acuminate, much shorter than the fili- 

 form corolla-tube ; disk-glands oblong, exceeding the ovaries. — Flowering in the first year ; 

 corolla-tube 1" long, somewhat longer than the lobes. — Hab. Jamaica !, M'Nab, a weed'; 

 S. Kitts !, Els., Antigua !, Wullschl. ; [Cuba ! and Mexico ! to Brazil ! ; trop. Africa ! and 

 Asia ! to China !] 



11. PLUMIERIA, L. . 



Calyx broadly 5-lobed or subentire. Corolla large, perigynous, salver-shaped or infundi-
