492 APOOYNACEA (Stapf). . 
carpels 2; stigma various, often exuding more or less glutinous matter and 
sticking tightly to the anthers at least in the dry state, otherwise free. Fruit 
baccate or follicular (but more or less fleshy). Seeds not comose, arillate in 
follicular fruits; endosperm ventrally grooved and more or less ruminate ; 
cotyledons flat. 
VII. Conopharyngia.—Sepals free, not circumscissile at the base. 
VIII. Voacanga.—Sepals united into a tubular or subcampanulate, 5-lobed 
calyx, circumscissile at the base. 
Tribe 3. Ecuirorprm.—Corolla various; lobes overlapping to the right, 
very rarely to the left, or induplicate-valvate or valvate. Anthers usually 
sagittate; anther-cells diverging below, the outer halves passing into barren 
tailed appendages ; foot of the connective free, generally provided with projec- 
tions and regularly arranged groups of spreading hairs. Ovary apocarpous ; 
rarely syncarpous; stigma various, exuding a glutinous matter and tightly 
agglutinated or adnate to the foot of the connective, very rarely to the base of 
the filaments. Fruit dry, follicular. Seeds comose, very rarely not so; or with a 
basal or apical plumose awn ; endosperm smooth, often scanty; cotyledons flat, 
semiterete, convolute or contortuplicate. 
* Leaves opposite, rarely whorled ; trees or shrubs with woody stems. 
IX. Wrightia.—Corolla with appendages inthe throat. Anther-cone exserted 
pa the corolla-tube. Seeds with a persistent basal coma ; cotyledons con- 
volute. 
X. Strophanthus.— Corolla fairly large, with paired appendages between the 
usually long-tailed lobes. Anther-cone included in the corolla-tube. Seeds 
with an apical plumose awn and a deciduous basal coma ; cotyledons plano- 
convex. 
XI. Oncinotis.— Corolla small, with 5 ligulate scales in the throat. Seeds with 
an apical coma.

eglandular. Corolla salver-shaped; tube more or less cylindric, 
4-12 lin. long, slender or rather stout, widened and staminiferous 
near the base or mouth or between them without correlation to the 
length of the corolla, but usually just above the calyx (higher up by 
3-2 calyx-lengths in §§ Vahea and Mesandrecia) ; mouth naked, 
sometimes much constricted by a callous ring ; lobes 5, narrow or 
broad, overlapping to the left. Stamens included; anthers ovate to 
lanceolate, minutely 2-lobed at and dehiscing to the base. Disc 0. 
Ovary entire, hairy or glabrous, 1-celled; placentas 2, parietal ; 
style filiform or subeolumnar, usually short to very short, or longer 
and very slender (in §§Vahea and Mesandrecia) ; stigma at a’ level 
with the base of the anthers, conieal from a slightly thickened base, 
2-lobed; ovules numerous, pluriseriate. Fruit a globose or pear- 
shaped berry, sometimes of a large size. Seeds few or many,
