smaller. One specimen is in fruit, which is a hard, almost dry, pear- 
shaped berry, and. about an inch long, with two cells separated 
by a thin dissepiment almost obliterated in the pulpy placent. 
Two other described species, O. tubiflorus, DC., and O. hir- 
sutus, DC., are both from Sierra Leone, and there is an unpub- 
lished one in Heudelot’s Senegambian collection. 
The Megacarpha pyriformis, Hochst. Flora, 1844, p. 551, 
from Port Natal, is evidently an Ozyanthus, closely allied to O. 
breviflorus.

This genus has considerable affinity with the small-fruited 
Randie of the section Genipantha, from which it chiefly differs

ovules, of the shape of those of Randia, are two or three in 
number in each cell, and more or less immersed in a fleshy 
placenta, peltately attached to the internal angle of the cell. 
The seeds are precisely those of Randia,
