Lmbelia. PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA, 587. 
- clothed with short, white hairs, Petals five, oblong, con- 
cave, spreading, hoary with short, soft, white hairs. Fila 
ments five, very short, and inserted into the middle of the 
petals. Anthers sub-sagittate, resting on the exterior half of 
the petals. Germ round, one-celled, containing a single ovu- 
lum attached to the bottom of the cell. Style short. Stigma 
headed, sub-truncate. Drupe the size of a grain of black- 
pepper, round, crowned with a small point, smooth, succu- 
lent, when ripe black, when dry wrinkled and very much 
like that spice, one-celled, Nut brittle, rugose, one-celled. 
Seeds solitary, roundish, with a cavity at the base. Integu- 
ments two. Perisperm contorm to the seed. Embryo cury- 
ed transversely, with the convexity up. Cotyledons two, 
minute, oval, lodged on the side of the base of the perisperm. 
Radicle filiform, of a curved, serpentine form, with its apex 
near the margin of the perisperm considerably above its base, 
on the side opposite to where the cotyledons are lodged, 
nearly as in Grertner’s Anguillaria, and in Ardisia. 
The natives of the hills in the vicinity of Silhet, where the 
plants grow abundantly, gather the little drupes, and when 
dry sell them to the small traders in black-pepper, who frau- 
dulently mix them with that spice, which they so resemble 
as to render it almost impossible to distinguish them by selfe . 
and they are somewhat art withal.
