columnar. Follicles long. Seeds long, linear, truncate or narrowed (not beaked) 
at both ends, glabrous, tipped with a deciduous coma, albumen not thick; 
cotyledons linear, flat, radicle short.—DisrrrB. Species 7, a Cingalese, a 
Malayan, and 5 African. 
1. B. acuminata, Benth. in Gen. Pl. ài. 719; leaves oblong obtusely 
caudate-acuminate pale beneath glabrous, cymes terminal and axillary corymbose 
uberulous shorter or longer than the leaves. Oleghornia acuminata and cymosa, 
Wight Ic. t. 1310, 1812; Walp. Ann. iii. 43; Thwaites Enum, 194. 
CryLon ; common in the central province, alt. 3000 ft. 
A slender climber. Leaves 3-4 by 1-1} in., rather thin; nerves quite horizontal, 
very slender; petiole 1-4 in. Cymes trichotomous, peduncle slender; pedicels short. 
Flowers Lin. long. Calyx about half as long as the calyx-tube, glands between the 
sepals connate in pairs. Corolla glabrous or puberulous ; lobes. oblong or linear 
obtuse; tube and throat hairy within. Follicles 6-10 by 4 in., cylindric, smooth. 
Seeds 14 in., slender, narrowed at both ends.—The corolla-lobes are much too short 
and rounded in Wight’s figure. 
2. B. malaccensis, Hook. f.; leaves oblong or elliptic obtusely caudate- 
acuminate pale beneath glabrous, cymes terminal and axillary paniculate gla- 
brous longer than the leaves. 
Maracca ; Maingay (Kew Distrib. 1094). 
Very closely allied to B. acuminata, but more slender, leaves smaller, 2 by 3-1} 
in. more membranous, whiter beneath, cymes more panicled than corymbose ; the 
flowers are almost identical, except that the glands are solitary between the sepals 
according to Maingay's mss. Fruit not seen. 
33. AGANOSMA, G. Don. 
Stout evergreen climbers. Leaves opposite. Flowers in terminal tomentose 
cymes, large or middle-sized. Sepals narrowly lanceolate, acuminate, with 
subulate glands at the base, rarely oblong ovate. Corolla salver-shaped, tube 
very short; throat long, cylindric, with bearded longitudinal bands behind the 
anthers; lobes lanceolate linear-oblong or broad and rounded, overlapping to 
the right and nearly straight in bud. Stamens at the base of the throat, in- 
cluded ; anthers ‘sagittate, rigid, conniving over the stigma and adnate to it, 
cells spurred at the base. Dise 5-lobed, cupular. Carpels 2, distinct, tips 
hirsute, rarely glabrous, many-ovuled; style short, top urn-shaped, truncate, 
stigma columnar, Follicles short or long, terete, straight or curved, linear, 
Seeds ovate or linear-oblong, flattened, glabrous, not beaked, albumen scanty ; 
cotyledons oblong, radicle short.—VIsTRIB. Species 5, Indian and Malayan. 
The very different zstivation of the corolla requires the separation of this genus 
from Jehnocarpus. 
Sxor. I. Amphineurion, 4. DC. Sepals ovate-oblong, acute. Ovary 
glabrous, half sunk in the dise. Follicles very long, cylindric. 
1. A. marginata, G. Don Gen. Syst. iv. 77; glabrous or branches and 
leaves beneath pubescent, leaves oblong acute acuminate or caudate, nerves very 
strong beneath inarching within the margin, cymes lax, corolla glabrous, tube 
rather longer than the acute calyx-segments, lobes linear obtuse. Wight Ic. t.
