scarcely more so, Roxburgh seems to have omitted it in his flora, althoug! 
he sent specimens to Europe as C. Calaba.

Dr Wallich remarks that it certainly does not belong to the genus.

Sepals 5 (rarely 4 or 6), small, combined to their middle, persistent : 
æstivation imbricated. Petals hypogynous, alternating with and equal 
in number to the stamens: æstivation imbricated. Torus fleshy, cup- 
shaped, occupying the bottom of the calyx, expanding between the 
petals and the stamens. Stamens 3, distinct, arising from the apex or - 
inside of the torus. Ovarium more or less hidden within the torus, but 
free from it, triangular, trilocular: ovules erect, 9 or more in each cell : 
style 1: stigmas 1-3. Placente in the axis. Fruit fleshy and 1-3- 
celled, or of 3 samaroid carpels. Seeds in each cell or carpel usually 
numerous, often solitary from abortion. Albumen none. Embryo 
straight: radicle next the hilum: cotyledons flat, elliptical, oblong, 
somewhat fleshy, cohering (at least in the dried plant)—Shrubs ar- 
borescent or climbing. Leaves opposite, simple, somewhat coriaceous. 
Flowers small. PEN

Calyx 5-cleft. Petals 5, inserted between the torus and the calyx. Sta- 
mens 3, inserted on the top of the disk : filaments flat, much dilated at the 
©; anthers 1-celled, bursting transversely. Style shortish. Stigmas 3. 
Carpels 3, or from abortion only 1 or 2, compressed coriaceous, 1-celled,
