386 FLORA NIGRITIANA. 
lineam longum ; calycis limbus tubulosus 3 lin. Corollam 
apertam non vidi, sed alabastrum mox florendum tubum 
ostendit calyce paullo longiorem, et lacinias iis R. genipeflore 
simillimas. Ovarium biloculare ; placente stipitatze loculos 
iterum fere dividunt. Ovula numerosa, placentis semiimmersa. 
Bacca ovoidea bipollicaris, utrinque subacutata, longitudi- 
naliter costis numerosis obtusis percursa. Semina compressa, 
horizontalia, placentis pulposo-carnosis immersa. 
This species, if I have made no error in matching the flower- 
ing and fruiting specimens, differs remarkably from the three 
following in the size of the fruit, which resembles in some 
particulars that of Oxyanthus, of which, however, it has not 
the flowers. The habit is, in some respects, intermediate 
between the two genera. 
4. Randia (Genipantha) genipeflora, DC. Prod. 4. p. 389.— 
Niger Expedition, Vogel, without the precise locality ; Sene- 
gambia, Heudelot. 
The fruit is about 4 lines diameter, very much like that of 
Morelia in appearance, but that it is two-celled only. It 5 
crowned with the tubular limb of the calyx till very nearly ripe, 
when that part usually falls off. i 
5. Randia (Genipantha) reticulata, Benth. ; foliis ovali-oblongis 
acuminatis inter venas transversim reticulatis, floribus axil- 
laribus breviter pedicellatis fasciculatis, bracteolis in cupulam 
connatis, calycis limbo tubuloso breviter , dentato.— Sierra 
Leone, Vogel, Don; Senegambia, Heudelot. 
Ramuli et folia novella minutissime puberula, planta cæterum 
glabra. Folia breviter petiolata, 3-4-pollicaria, basi acuta, © 
riacea, iis R. genipeflore primo intuitu simillima, sed ven 
transverse crebrz utrinque prominent dum in R. genipefiore 
evanescunt. Stipule brevissimz, late, breviter setaceo-cusP* 
date. Flores in cymas contractas dispositi, ad axillas co? 
gesti, vix petiolum superant. Bractee lineam longe, ™ 
cupulam brevem connate.  Calyz 2 lin. longus, truncatus, 
dentibus 5-6 brevissimis, in speciminibus floriferis vix €OD- 
spicuis, in fructiferis evidentioribus. Corolle tubus breviter 
exsertus, faux leviter dilatata, lacinie 5-7, oblongo-lineare»
