68 7 BIXACES (Harv.) [Trimeria. 
ternate, entire or toothed ; the teeth callous. Flowers small, in axillary racemes. 
Found in Tropical Asia as well as South Africa. In the Cape species the inner 
calyx lobes are much smaller in proportion to the outer than they are in the Asiatic ; 
the margin of the disc is conspicuously glandular, and its surface woolly ; the calyx 
tube is more conical and the stamens more perigynous. Name from oBepos, 
formidable ; from the stout spines with which many of the species are armed.
