novum genus. 
Calyx ad basin 5-partitus, glandulosus; lobi obtusi, imbricati. Corolle hypocrateri- 
formis tubus rectus, subcylindricus, ad stamina vel insuper parum dilatatus, intus 
in staminum regione pilosus; lobi valde oblique contorti, sinistrorsum obtegentes. 
Stamina infra tubi medium inserta; anthere sagittata, acutissima, basi bilobze,

in stylum brevem angustatum; stigma fusiforme; ovula in loculis numerosa. 
Fructus ........ Folia opposita, pennivenia, lineis prominulis interpetiolaribus 
nonnunquam connata. | 
In the absence of the fruit the actual affinity must remain in some doubt. "The plant 
strongly recalls Ervatamia; but the syncarpous ovary, as in the case of the allied 
Tabernanthe, excludes it from this genus. Further distinction lies in the absence of 
intracalycular glands, and in the peculiar corolla-lobes. On the whole it would seem 
proper to include this genus as a somewhat abnormal member of the P/umeriee, 
sub-tribe Tabernemontanee, on the grounds of general facies, interpetiolar line, etc.
