Glabrous shrubs, often climbing by the peduncles becoming tendrils, Leaves 
opposite, petiole short. Flowers in axillary cymes. Calyx short, 5-lobed. 
Corolla salver-shaped, tube nearly glabrous within, mouth naked or with fleshy 
glands alternating with the lobes; lobes overlapping to the left, nearly straight 
in bud. Stamens included in the tube, and filaments very short ; anthers ovate or 
lanceolate, cells rounded at the base. Disc 0. Ovary l-celled ; style short, top 
obconic or urceolate, stigma curved or columnar; ovules many, co -seriate on 2 
parietal placentas. Berry large, globose or ovoid, many-seeded, pericarp hard. 
Seeds imbedded in pulp, ellipsoid, albumen 0; cotyledon thick, plano-convex.—- 
Distris. Species 8-10, Malayan and East Asiatic.—All supposed to yield 
Caoutchouc. à 
The species with glands on the corolla-mouth may form a different genus. I have 
seen no tendrils on these.
