358 XLVII. CELASTRINEJE. 
sepissime coriacea, senipér simplicia, nunquam. lobata, eglandulosa. ^ Stipule si adsint 
foliis junioribus szpissime minutz, valde caduczs. ^ Inflorescentia utplurimum cymosa. 
Flores parvi, virescentes v. albi. 
Species nobis eognitze ad 400, quarum multe baetenus indeseriptze. Ordo per totum fere terrarum. 
orbem sparsus, regionibus frigidis exceptis, in tropicis sat frequens, in temperatis (Euongmo excepto) 
rarior. 
Ordo (generibus anomalis, disco 0, exceptis) bene limitatus, habitu, foliis simplicibus sspe coriaceis, 
floribus parvis, calyce minuto persistente, staminibus 3-5 parvis, disco conspicuo, ovario ovoideo v. 
pyramidato in stylum brevem abrupte attenuato, et inflorescentia cymosa facile recognoscendus ; ab 
Ampelideis differt habitu et staminibus petalis alternis. —Sapindaceis Celastrines arctissime affines, 
et mediante illarum tribu Staphylearum, quibus stamina basi disei extus inserta sunt, et tribu 
harum Zippocratearum, quibus interdum stamina supra diseum inserta, omnino confluunt: nihilo- 
minus Celastrineze pro maxima parte a Sapindaceis perpluribus differunt v. floribus symmetrieis, v. 
calyce parvo, v. staminibus paucioribus non hypogynis, v. foliis semper simplicibus. A ZAaneis 
Celastrinez facile dignoseuntur staminibus nunquam vere perigynis petalis alternis, calyceque parvo 
rarissime valvato ; ab 4nacardiaceis et affinibus ovulis in loculis 2-26, szpissime erectis : ab Zlieineis 
differunt disci preesentia, ovulis szepissime erectis, petalísque liberis, sed mediantibus — et 
Cassine transitus obvius est. 
Inter Celastrineas et Zippocrateas nullum est diserimen bonum, nam .KoAooma exhibet sta- 
mina 6 margini exteriori disci inserta Celasíri, e& semina alata exalbuminosa Hippocratee ; in Har- 
togia insuper semina exalbuminosa; in P(elidio stamina disco intus inserta, et in Salacie specie 
folia alterna evadunt. 
FORMZ&R ABNORMES,

Calyx valvatus in Caryospermo, apertus in Perrottetia. 
Petala 0, in A/zatea et Microtropidis speciebus; basi ta in Mierotropide ; ligulata in Glos- 
sopetalo ; valvata in Cargospermo, Perrottetia, variisque Hippocrateis ; induplicatim valvata ap 
longe inflexis in Goupia ; hypogyna in Schefferia, aliisque generibus paucis. 
Stamina 2 in specie unica Sa/acie ; 10 in Glossopetalo; disco intus inserta in Pfelidio ; disco 
sessilia in Goupia, ubi antherce hispidulsz. 
Diseus 0, in Microtropide, Llavea, ceterisque paucis ; inconspicuus in Sehefferia. 
Ovarium stipitatum in Líavea ; semiinferum in Mortonia Greggii ; l-loculare in Llavea, Glos- 
"petalo.et. Catastro ; -loeulare in Goupia. 
Stigmata 2-fida in-ScAefferia, 5 minute stellatim patentia in Goupia. 
Ovula apici column:e centralis affixa in Microtropide, solitaria et ab apice loculi pendula in tiii; 
numero varia in Euonymo. 
Embryo minutus in Perrottetia. 
Radicula supera in Cassine. 
CONSPECTUS GENERUM. 
v9. Stamina 4-5 (rarissime 10), margini v. infra marginem disci sepissime
