above; petiole very stout, 1-1 in. ; stipules some triangular-lanceolate acuminate, 
others complicate broadly oblong, subacute, Peduncles 1-3, ZE in. Calyx small, 
truncate. Corolla white tinged with rose; tube 1 in. ; lobes $in. Berry about 3 in.

44. BRACHYTOME, Zol: h 
A glabrous shrub or small tree; branches slender, terete. Leaves petioled, 
membranous, caudate-acuminate ; stipules triangular, acuminate, persistent, 
lowers polygamo-dicecious, white, small, in slender panicles. Cymes from the 
axil of an undeveloped leaf (hence leaf-opposed) ; bracts minute. Calyx-tube 
oblong; limb cupular, 5-toothed, persistent. Corolla long or funnel-shaped ; 
tube (in fl. 2 shorter) within and throat glabrous ; lobes 5, short, twisted in 
bud. Stamens 5, inserted on the corolla-throat ; anthers subsessile, included, 
linear-oblong, imperfect in fl. 9. Disk in 9 small, in d cupular. Ovary 2- 
celled; style filiform (short in d), stigmas 2, shortly oblong obtuse grooved ; 
ovules very numerous, superficial ‘on peltate tumid placentas. Berries small,. 
ellipsoid, 2-celled, many-seeded. Seeds crowded, cuneate, compressed, testa 
thin retieulate, albumen fleshy ; embryo small, sub-cylindric.—Perhaps better 
united with Randia, but the habit and flowers are peculiar, and the seeds have 
a reticulated testa,

Pale brown whendry. Leaves 5-9 by 1-2 in., oblong or obovate-lanceolate, almost 
caudate-acuminate ; nerves slender; petiole } in. Cymes short, irregularly branched, 
3-2 in. diam., lax-flowered. Corolla $ in. long. Berry 4 in. long, crowned with the 
calyx-limb.—Griffith's specimens are marked Darjeeling, but as no other colleetor has 
found it in Sikkim, I suspect some error, 
45. ANOMANTHODIA, 1.1 I 
A subseandent glabrous shrub; branchlets soft com ressed and inflorescence 
hairy. Leaves bifarious, obliquely auricled ; stipules interpetiolar, triangular, 
deciduous. Corymbs appearing supra-axillary (from the suppression of the leaves: 
at the flowering nodes) ; peduncles 3-chotoiious; bracts small, triangular, and 
bracteoles persistent. Flowers small, white, sessile, polygamo-dicecious, Calyx- 
tube turbinate; limb cylindric or cupular, 5-6-toothed, deciduous. Corolla 
salver-shaped, tube short, throat with reflexed hairs ; lobes 5-6, longer than the 
tube, reflexed, twisted in bud. Stamens 5-6, subsessile on the corolla-mouth ; 
anthers narrow, acute (recurved in the male), cells septate. Disk tubular. 
Ovary 2-celled ; style stout, branches 2-lanceolate ribbed ; ovules many. Berries 
globose, 2-celled, very many-seeded. Seeds minute, crowded, cuneate, testa 
thick.
