TABERNA, DC. 
Fifty-nine of the many species of Tabernemontana, enumerated by De Candolle under 
a section Taberna, are mostly of American, with a few of oriental origin, all combined 
under the single character of a follicular fruit. If we remove from these heterogeneous 
species all those belonging to Tabernemontana proper, and those belonging to other 
genera since constituted, we have a remainder, all American, which offer tolerably 
uniform characters; they are here comprised under a genus Taberna. 
Taserna, A. DC. Char. reformat. : Sepala 5, parva, ovata, erecta, imbricata, intus squamulis parvis acutis 
paucis vel pluribus munita. Corolla hypocrateriformis ; tubus anguste cylindricus; limbi segmenta 5, 
expansa, dolabriformia, sinistrorsum inflexa et convoluta. Stamina inclusa, paullo infra medium 
tubi inserta, subsessilia; anthere subcoherentes, imo breviter et acute bifurcatee, apice acuminate ; 
discus cylindricus, submembranaceus, margine crenulatus, ovario adnato arcte adglutinatus et eo 
dimidio brevior; stylus tenuis; clavuncula incrassata, imo membrana indusiata; stigmata 2, parva, 
terminalia. Folliculi 2, sepius divaricati, oblongi, obtusi, subcompressi, sepe maculati, plus minusve 
arcuati, sutura ventrali dehiscentes. Semina plurima, in funiculos crassos pulposos semiimmersa. 
Arbores vel suffrutices Americe meridionalis, habitu Tabernzemontanse. 
From the above characters it will be seen that Taberna differs from Tabernemontana 
in the tube of its corolla being swollen in the middle, in the character of its stamens, 
which are quite included, and in a longer adnate disk. From Bonafousia it differs in 
the shape of its corolla, in the dolabriform segments of its border simply convoluted in 
zestivation, in the position of its stamens, and in the presence of a disk; from Peschiera
