V. NIEBUHRIA. DC. 
Calyx of 4 sepals, united at the base into a tube, surrounding, but free 
from, the lower part of the torus: estivation valvular. Petals none, or 4, al- 
ternate with and shorter than the segments of the calyx, with the inside of 
the tube of which their claws are so closely incorporated as to resemble 4 pe- 
tals almost sessile at the top of the tube. Torus cylindrical, at length longer 
than the tube of the calyx. Stamens numerous ; filaments below united with — 
the torus, free above. Ovarium ovoid or cylindrical, 1-celled: ovules nume- 
rous. Berry ovate or elongated, stalked.—The stamens appear as if they 
Were entirely distinct, springing from the summit of the torus, The apeta-
