Fl. and fr. in October and November. 



NoTK : The capsule does not open in the manner described by Hooker 

 (Fl. Brit. Ind. Ill, 200) and Cooke (Fl. Bomb. Pres. I, 624). The 

 capsule has finally the appearance of two spreading valves with the 

 scarious septum between them. This septum, however, consists of 

 two lamellae, easily separable from each other. After the two meri- 

 carps have separated, the one which dehisces first, remains open, 

 whils its lamella, on account of its elasticity, is thrown back on the 

 closed mericarp and remains in that position till this mericarp also 

 opens.
