Brvueviera. RHIZOPHORE. 311 
small, linear oblong. Ovary 1-celled, ovules 6, pendulous from the top of a 
central columella. Style filiform. Stigma small, 3-toothed. Fruit oblong, 
longer than the tube of the calyx, crowned near the base by its segments, at 
length perforated by the germinating embryo.—Shrubs with quite entire 
leaves, and axillary inflorescence.

Calyx-tube turbinate, cohering with the ovary: limb divided into 5-13 
persistent segments. Petals as many as the calycine segments, oblong, bifid, 
coriaceous, conduplicate, each embracing two stamens, woolly along the mar- 
gin. Stamens twice as many as petals, and inserted by pairs opposite to 
them: filaments unequal, half the length of the petals: anthers linear or sa- 
gittate. Ovary 2-4-celled ; ovules 2 in each cell. Style nearly the length of 
the stamens. Stigma 2—4-toothed. Fruit contained within the tube of the 
calyx, crowned at the apex by its segments (rarely longer than the tube 
with the segments around its base 2), at length perforated by the germina- 
ting embryo.— Trees or shrubs with quite entire leaves, and axillary inflo- 
rescence. 
To this genus bel Rhizophora Timoriensis, DC. R. lloides, Jack, 
R. parviflora. Roth e perhaps R. sexangula, Lour. Roxburgh represents his R. 
decandra (in E. I. C. mus. tab. 1140) with the fruit as in Rhizophora, but the flower 
as in Bruguiera : in the Flora Indica he has omitted this species entirely: his draw- 
ing may have therefore been afterwards considered by him as erroneous.

We are not aware that this has been seen by any modern botanist. - Rox- 
burgh enumerates a species under the name of RA. cylindrica, in his hort. 
Benghalensis, but we suspect the plant he intended is Rh. parviflora of the fl. 
Indica, a species apparently only distinguishable from B. cylindrica by the 
more numerously flowered peduncles. t i

Calyx-tube somewhat globose, 5-7-lobed ; lobes short, triangular. Petals 
as many as the lobes of the calyx, unguiculate. “Stamens twice as many as 
the petals. Ovary globose, adnate to the calyx, crowned with a glandular 
ring between the calyx and the style, 1-celled with 1-3 ovules (Roxr.), or 
5 celled with 2 ovules in each cell. Style about as long as the stamens. Stig-
