. FLORA OF THE ISLAXD OF HONGKOXG. 381 
Though G^arduer and Champion, in their description of Eustigma, correctly state that it has uo corolla, 
yet they speak of " Stamina 5, cum pctalia inserta, iisdem altcrna," a lapsus penncs, which probably had its 
origin in the five scales being looked upon as petals, and catalogued aa such in the first draft of the generic 
character. The stamens are inserted in the throat, and opposite the lobes of the calyx. 
A small tree ; leaves 4-4^ inches long, and 18-21 lines broad.
