m a mixture of loam, sand, and peat; and cuttings will root 
freely, taken from ripe wood, in sand under a hand-glass, in a 
moist heat.

p. 397. D. C. prod. 1. p. 565. 
Calyx of 2-7 sepals ; sepals ovate, usually coriaceous, imbri- 
cate. Corolla hypogynous, sometimes monopetalous, hood- 
formed, entire, or jagged at the apex, sometimes 5-petalled, after 
flowering circumscised and caducous. Stamens definite but 
usually numerous, sometimes inserted in the receptacle, sometimes 
in a hypogynous membrane; filaments dilated at the base ; 
anthers elongated, 2-celled, fixed by the base, bursting on the 
inside. Ovary 1, free, usually furrowed. Style 1, of various 
lengths, crowned by a simple or capitate stigma. Capsule cori- 
aceous, commonly globose, many-valved, hardly dehiscent, with 
a dissepiment in the middle of each valve. Dissepiment in 
Marcgravia slender, arched, joined at the base and apex, distant 
from the centre, and the fruit is therefore I-celled. Seeds very 
minute, numerous, imbedded in pulp. Embryo unknown.— 
Usually ascendant shrubs with alternate leaves. Flowers um- 
bellate or spicate. Peduncles naked, but usually furnished with 
bracteas, which are either simple, concave on the outside, or 
hood-formed. This order is distinguished from Guttifere in the 
leaves being alternate, and by the singular form of the bracteas 
of the flowers ; in this last respect it differs also from Ternstre- 
miacee.
