apetalous in the cultivated S. chinensis (Lindley), but not usually so in the wild 
plant. The Khasia examples have the fruits mostly sessile, agreeing thus more closely 
with S. chinensis than with S. javanica, in which the fruits are usually shortly 
pedicelled. i

Shrubs or small trees. Leaves opposite, rarely 3-nate; stipules incon- 
spicuous (in the Indian species). Flowers in terminal or subterminal corym- 
bose or panicled cymes, all fertile in Indian (outer radiant and neuter in some 
European, &c., species). Calyx-tube turbinate or subeylindric ; limb short, 
5-toothed, persistent. Corolla campanulate rotate or tubular; lobes 5, equal. 
Stamens 5, inserted on the corolla-tube. Ovary 1-3-celled ; style short, stigma 
sub-3-lobed ; ovules 1 in each cell, pendulous. Drupe l- or sub-2-3-celled, 
l-seeded. Seed oblong, compressed, concave on the ventral face or with the 
marzins greatly incurved; albumen fleshy, uniform or ruminated; embryo 
minute.—Disrrrs. Species 80, in N. temperate regions and in the Andes; a few 
in the West Indies and Madagascar.

nknown).

| A spreading shrub, 5-10 ft. high. Leaves 3 by 2 in., obtuse or subacute, sub- 
éntire rarely coarsely crenate, stellately-woolly at least when young, in age often 
glabrous except on the nerves beneath; petiole din. Corymbs 2-3 in. diam., generally 
terminal, dense, branches stout; bracteoles linear, equalling the calyx-tube. Corolla- 
tube A by A in., glabrous, lobes round. Anthers large, subexsert. Style very short, 
- Yeonical Drupe i by i in., compressed, broad-oblong, red. Seed dorsally 2-grooved, 
‘ventrally sub-concave 3-grooved.— Leaves usually thick, reticulately rugose and 
ntire, but sometimes thin, glabrous, and somewhat strongly crenate. V. Lantana,
