4 ERICACER (Bolus, Guthrie & Brown). 
q Bracts 1-3. Calyx tubular, campanulate or obconic, equally and 
shortly 4-toothed or lobed to the middle; tube usually rather thick 
or somewhat fleshy and often sharply 4-angled. 
XI. Simocheilus.— Corolla much elongated and tubular or tubular-clavate or 
4-angled and about twice as long as the calyx. Ovary 2-4.celled. 
||| Corolla equally but shortly 2-lobed, tubular or tubular-funnel-shaped. 
Anthers exserted. Ovary 2-celled. 
XIV. Aniserica.—Bract 1, at the very base of the pedicel, or 0. Calyx cam- 
panulate, 4-angled, equally 4-toothed. 
XV. Sympieza.—Bracts 0-3. Calyx dorsally much flattened, 2-angled, or if 
3-angled, with the 3rd angle next the axis, equally 2-3-lobed. 
tt Ovary 1-celled; ovule solitary. 
a. Stamens 8. 
XVI. Lepterica.—Bracts 0. Calyw subunequally 4-toothed. Corolla minute, 
obconic. Anthers included. Stigma very large, crater-like. 
8. Stamens 3-5, very rarely 2. 
XII. Syndesmanthus.—Bracts usually 0, rarely 1-3. Calyx obconie or turbi- 
nate, equally 3—4.toothed, usually hairy; tube distinctly 3-8-angled, thin or 
. coriaceous, not fleshy. Corolla tubular or clavate. Stigma simple, or peltate 
with the centre produced. 
XIIT. Anomalanthus.—Bracts 3.  Calyw ovoid or campanulate, thick and 
fleshy, scarcely or not at all angular, equally 4-toothed, glabrous, Corolla 
campanulate, tubular or narrowly funnel-shaped. Stigma simple. 
XVIII. Scyphogyne.—Bracts usually 0, rarely 1. Calyw obconic or campanu- 
late, thin or coriaceous, not fleshy, more or less angular, unequally or equally 
3-4-toothed or -lobed. Corolla minute, globose, obconic, campanulate or 
urceolate. Stigma very large, crater-like or peltate. 
** Corolla arising from the middle of the ovary, which is half inferior to it, but 
free from the calyz. 
XIX. Lagenocarpus.—Bracts 0. Calyx campanulate, 4-toothed. Corolla 
a campanulate or subglobose. Anthers sessile, included. Ovary 2-3-

(By F. Gutunm and H. Bouvs.) * 
_ Calyx free, mostly 4-partite, rarely 4-fid or 4-dentate. Corolla 
hypogynous, deciduous, or rarely persistent, tubular, ampullaceous, 
urceolate, globose, ovoid, campanulate, cyathiform, obconic, or funnel- 
shaped, 4-lobed, less commonly 4-fid, rarely sub-4-partite. Stamens 
hypogynous, normally 8, very rarely fewer or more, mostly arising 
from the base of a free, more or less elevated disk ; filaments free ; 
anthers terminal or lateral, dehiscing by lateral pores or slits, muticous, 
crested or aristate at or near the insertion of the filament or more — 
rarely distant, the appendages often adnate to it, or sometimes
