philom. 1813. p. 381. i 
Calyx of 3-5, unequal, concave (f. 97. a.), coriaceous, obtuse, 
permanent, imbricate sepals (f. 99. a.), usually furnished with 
2 bracteoles at the base. Petals usually 5 (f. 97. d. f. 99. b.), 
rarely more or fewer, inserted on the disk, sometimes free (f. 97. 
d.), sometimes connected at the base (f. 99. b.). Stamens 
numerous, hypogynous (f. 99. d. f. 98. c. &c.), somewhat adnate 
to the petals at the base, free, or connate, rarely disposed in 
bundles (f. $9. d.); filaments short, awl-shaped ; anthers erect, 
2-4-celled, adnate or versatile. Ovary ovate (f. 98. d. f. 99. c.). 
Styles 2-7, free, or more or less joined together (f. 99. f.). 
Fruit ovate-globose, radiately divided on the inside into as many 
cells as there are styles or stigmas (f. 97. g. f. 98. e. f. 99. c.), 
sometimes dry-baccate (f. 97. g. f. 98. d. e.), indehiscent, some- 
times capsular, dehiscent (f. 99.c.). Seeds few or numerous, 
fixed to the central placenta (f. 97. g. f. 98. e.), sometimes arched 
(f. 97. h.), sometimes roundish or compressed. Albumen fleshy 
or wanting. Embryo arched or straight, slender, terete, with 
. oblong cotyledons, and an’ inconspicuous plumule, with a long 
radicle, which is turned towards the hylum. The order is com- 
posed of trees and shrubs, with alternate, exstipulate, coriaceous, 
feather-nerved, undivided leaves, and axillary. and terminal pe- 
duncles, bearing handsome, white, yellow, red, purple, and varie- 
gated flowers. Caméllia and the cuts we have given will convey a 
very good idea of the beauty of the genera. The tea is well known 
to be one of the most useful plants in the world for its stimulating 
influence in decoction upon the nerves, which is attributed by 
Cullen to the presence of a narcotic principle. The seeds of 
Caméllia oleifera, and some others, yield a fine oil. Noronha 
States that the fruit of a Sauraúja, found in Java, is subacid, 
in flavour resembling the Tomato, and that it is eaten by the 
Javanese under the name of Koleho.
