Floral diagram of Hypericum; 

 after Eichler, ovary cut at base. 

 S the " Schraubel " branch. 



to the calyx, and hardly to be distinguished from it. The axis is usu. 

 convex, but exhibits many forms. The 

 fl. may be cyclic or partly spiral, and 

 is usu. reg., 5 , hypog. K imbricate ; 

 C imbr. or conv.; A oo , free or united 

 in various ways, frequently in bundles 

 (usu. regarded as due to branching of 

 originally simple papillae) ; very com- 

 monly the outer ones or even all are 

 staminodial ; G usu. (5) or (3), multi- 

 or i-loc.; ovules oo , few, or i, anatr. ; 

 styles free or united. Fr. often capsular, 

 sometimes a berry or drupe. Seed 

 exalb. Many yield useful timber ; the 

 resins of Clusia, Garcinia, Calophyllum, 

 &c., and the fr. of Garcinia and others 

 are valuable. 



Classification and chief genera (after Engler) : the G. are closely 

 allied to Theaceae, the only constant distinction being the presence 

 of oil-glands, and to Dipterocarpaceae, which are chiefly distinguished 

 by their alt. slip. 1. [BH. excl. Hypericoideae with Endodesmioideae 

 as a separate fam.] 



I. KIELMEYEROIDEAE (1. alt. or opp.; fls. usu. 5, 



A oo, style i, G 3 5-loc.): Kielmeyera, Caraipa. 



II. HYPERICOIDEAE (1. opp.; fl. 5 ; sta. usu. oo , usu. in 



5 or 3 8 bundles before the petals ; styles 3 5, usu. 

 free; fr. a i- or 3-loc. septi- or loculicidal caps., or 

 indeh.; embryo usu. straight with not very thick cots.) : 

 Hypericum, Vismia.

in 5 bundles below ; cpl. i ; drape ; cots, fleshy): Endo- 

 desmia (only genus). 



IV. CALOPHYLLOIDEAE (1. opp. ; fls. $ or <f ? , A oo free 



or united at base, G i 4 each with 2 i ov. ; fr. indeh. ;
