Very closely allied to 0. molle Blume, distinguished not only by the glabrous 

 ovary, but by the shorter, less deeply cut, and wider perianth-segments.

The stylar column forms a continuation of the ovary, the styles curving 

 inward and usually downward at the apex, leaving a central depression; the 

 capsules are strongly depressed, 8-9 mm in diameter, 4-6-celled, 8-12-lobed, at 

 the apex with a circular disk, concave at least near its margins, formed from the 

 stylar column. It has been a matter of doubt whether this was really a normal 

 state, but the capsules mature, and the same structure has been found in different 

 localities. The original description of the capsules does not apply, having been 

 taken from a plant now referred to a different species.

13. Glochidion breynioides sp. nov. § Herniglochidion. 



Floribus fasciculatis, axillaribus, pedicellis superne dilatatis suffultis, 

 perianthii segnientis utriusque sexus lanceolatis vel oblongo-lanceolatis, 

 antheris 3 ; ovario glabro, cohimna stylari ei subaequilata, ovoidea ; f oliis 

 lanceolatis vel ellipticis, basi insequilateralibus, obtusis vel acutis, apice 

 acuminatis. 



Flowers usually few in a fascicle, those of both sexes borne on pedicels 

 3-4.5 mm long, those of the female conspicuously thicker above, usually 

 on very short axillary peduncles ; perianth-segments of the male flowers 6, 

 lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, 1.2-1.5 mm long, obtuse at the apex; 

 anthers 3, 1 mm long including the connectives: female flowers with 

 perianth like the males; ovary glabrous, depressed-globose, stylar column 

 at the base slightly wider or slightly narrower than the ovary, nearly 

 ovate in outline, truncate above, about the same length as the ovary, 5- or 

 6-grooved, with as many inconspicuous intervening grooves: capsules 

 depressed-globose, glabrous, 7 mm in diameter, 5- or 6-celled, the outer 

 walls thin.
