Tribe VI. 
GORDONIE'Æ (plants agreeing with Gordònia in many im- 
portant characters). D. C. prod. 1. p. 527. Calyx of 5 free 
or connected sepals (f. 99. a.). Stamens numerous, with filiform 
filaments, which are connected together at the base (f. 99. d.), 
and oscillatory oval anthers. Carpels 5, more or less joined 
together at the base (f. 99. c.). Styles 5, distinct, and con- 
nected together at the base, or sometimes almost to the apex 
(f. 99. f.), with an equal number of stigmas (f. 99. f.). Carpels 
capsular, 1-2-seeded, sometimes almost distinct, sometimes closely 
joined together into 1 capsule (f. 99. c.), sometimes with a dis- 
sepiment in the middle of each valve. Seeds few. Albumen want- 
ing. Embryo straight, with an oblong radicle, and leafy coty- 
ledons which are plaited lengthwise, and with an inconspicuous 
plumule. American and Asiatic trees and shrubs with alternate 
oval or oblong, entire,or toothed, feather-nerved exstipulate leaves, 
which are usually deciduous. The flowers resemble those of Ca- 
mèllia on the one hand and Cydonia on the other. This tribe was 
formerly confused with Malvdcee and Tiliàceæ, from their 
plaited, wrinkled cotyledons, but it is more nearly allied to Tern- 
streemidcee on account of the calyx being imbricate, not valvate 
in estivation, and in the absence of stipulas.

Ovate-leaved Malachodendron.

Cult. This beautiful deciduous shrub, whose large flowers 
are of a cream-colour, deserves a place in the collection of every 
admirer of ornamental shrubs. Although it is sufficiently hardy 
to bear the winters in Britain in the open air, yet the young 
shoots often get injured in winter, the summer not being long
