Caryopteris. | CXI. VERBENACEE. (C. B. Clarke.) 597 
XVI. CARYOPTERIS, Bunge. 
Shrubs, erect or rambling. Leaves opposite, acuminate, toothed or sub- 
entire, minutely punctate with yellow glistening glands. Cymes small, 
dense, many-fid., axillary or running into a terminal thyrse; bracts small. 
Calyx deeply 5-fid; segments'triangular or lanceolate, somewhat accrescent. 
Corolla-tube short, cylindric ; limb spreading, middle lobe of the lower lip 
larger, crisped or (in the typical non-Indian species) fimbriate. Stamens 4, 
didynamous; anthers exserted, cells divaricate (in the Indian species), con- 
fluent. Ovary imperfectly 4-celled, 4-ovuled; style filiform, shortly 2-fid. 
Capsule small, globose, dividing into 4 concave valves with incurved margins 
holding the seeds. Seeds oblong, erect.—Species 5, two N.E. Asiatic and 
the following. 
Though the genus is near Clerodendron, two of the Indian species are easily dis- 
tinguished by their very short corolla: the third, C. Wallichiana, has the corolla-tube 
scarcely } in. The capsule is hardly less succulent than in several species of Cleroden- 
dron, nor is the incurving of the edges of the valves different from what occurs in 
that genus.
