6. STRYCHNOS, Linn. 
Scandent shrubs with short tendrils, or trees. — Leaves opposite, 3-5-nerved 
(except sometimes S. potatorum) ; scandent species bear short clavate tendrils 
in some of the axils, the adjacent leaf then often suppressed; in the sub- 
terminal axils both tendrils often developed, both the leaves and the point of 
the branch then generally suppressed, in which case the species has been said 
to produce terminal bifurcate tendrils. Cymes terminal or lateral; bracts 
small; flowers white or yellowish. Calyx small, 5-4-lobed. Corolla 5-4-fid ; 
tube short or long or hardly any; lobes valvate. Stamens 5, on the corolla- 
tube, filaments short. Ovary 2-celled (or 1-celled above) ; style long or short 
or hardly any, stigma capitate or small or sub-2-lobed ; ovules many in each 
cell. Berry globose or oblong, many- (or 2-1-) seeded. Seeds globose, discoid 
or oblong, albumen horny; embryo small.— Species 60; in the tropics of both 
hemispheres. 
Strychnos grandis, Wall. Cat. 4454, is Anisophyllea grandifolia, G. Henslow 
(vol. ii. p. 442). 
Strychnos sp. Wall. Cat. 7500, with subalternate leaves, is not of this Order. 
* Corolla-tube shorter than the calyx or hardly any. 
l. S. hypogyna, Clarke; leaves elliptic-lanceolate 3-nerved glabrous, 
cymes axillary sessile compound pubescent, petals 5 hardly connate, ovary 
airy.

broadly rhomboid ; petiole 3 in. Cymes 1-2 in.; pedicels hardlyany. Calyx pubes- 
cent. Petals 3. in., villous within. Stamens obscurely attached to the petals, some- 
times persistent after the petals have gone, filaments sometimes villous; anther-cells 
oblong, glabrous or nearly so, Ovary hairy; style hardly any. Fruit not seen.

sessile, lax; pedicels 0-5 in. Calyx minutely pubescent. Corolla 3, in.; petals

ripe fruit; Wallich’s are leaves only; on his A sheet are two plants, one (b) with 
5-nerved leaves is that taken up by Kurz.
