longer lobule ciliate or toothed at the tip. Anthers narrowly lanceolate, acuminate. 
Fruit unknown.—Maingay observes that this resembles a Melodinus. 
5. WINCHIA, 4. DC. 
A slender twining evergreen shrub. Leaves 3 in a whorl. Flowers small, 
in terminal paniculate cymes, Calyx small, 5-lobed, eglandular within. Corolla 
sálver-shaped, tube nearly cylindric ; lobes rounded, velvety, overlapping to the 
left; throat villous. Anthers above the middle of the tube, included, subsessile, 
cells rounded at the base, dehiscing almost throughout their length. Dise 0. 
Ovary short, 2-celled, top rounded glabrous; style short, stigma with a calyp- 
triform base; ovules in several series, placentas on the septum. Fruit not seen.

ManTArPAN ; Wallich. 
Leaves 2-4 in., oblong-lanceolate, obtusely caudate, acuminate, base acute, very- 
shining above and dark olive brown when dry, pale beneath, margins waved, coria- 
ceous; nerves very numerous, close and horizontal; petiole slender, 1-2 in. Cymes 
glabrous, rounded, shortly peduneled, 1-2 in. diam. ; bracts minute; pedicels short. 
Calyx campanulate, lobes rounded, ciliolate. Corolla-tube 4-4 in., four times longer: 
than the calyx, inflated below the top; lobes short, white with velvety hairs. 
6. CARISSA, Linn. 
Spinous, densely branched, usually erect shrubs. Leaves opposite, small, 
coriaceous. Flowers in terminal and axillary peduncled 3-chotomous cymes. 
Calyx 5-partite, glandular within or not, segments acute. Corolla-tube cylindric, 
throat naked, lobes overlapping to the right (in the Indian species). Stamens 
at the top of the tube, included ; anthers lanceolate, cells rounded at the base. 
Disc 0. Ovary 2-celled; style filiform, stigma fusiform or columnar, minutely 
2-fid ; ovules 1-4 in each cell, rarely more. Berry ellipsoid or globose, 2- (or by 
abortion 1-) celled. Seeds usually 2, peltately attached to the septum, albumen 
fleshy; cotyledons ovate.—Drisrrrs. Species about 20, African, Asiatic and. 
Australian. 
The Indian species of this genus are very difficult of definition, and are probably 
reducible to one or two very variable plants, The tickets of Wallich’s specimens in. 
Herb. Linn. Soc. have been, I fear, much misplaced.
