(from apion, a pear) The former species has the fruit crowned with 
the limb of the calyx, the latter has merely a circular ring somewhat 
below the apex. The embryo, which has ovate cotyledons and a 
cylindrical radicle twice their length, is in the lower half of the seed ; 
the point of the radicle being in contact with the testa, as in Gardenia, 
Randia, &c. :

This plant differs from Roxburgh's Limonia scandens (now Luvunga, 
vid. *Bot. Mag., tab. 4522), as will be seen principally by the free 
 stamens, also by the shape of the leaves: the fruit, which is resinous 
and odoriferous, as in Z. scandens, is about half the size. It would 
appear, therefore, that the union of the stamens is not of generic 
value.
