Srytocoryne. RUBIACE X. 401 
We follow Richard in uniting Cupia to Stylocoryne ; the habit of the two genera is 
uite the same, and even according to the characters (the tubular and 5-toothed, or 
the 5-partite limbs of the calyx) given by De Candolle, several of what he has placed 
in Cupia ought to have been removed to Stylocoryne: thus his C. densiflora and C. 
odorata have the limb of the calyx tubular and 5-toothed, and differ in that respect 
from Cupia. C. oppositifolia is scarcely known, and does not appear to belong to the 
p perhaps indeed the leaves are alternate, and in that case it must be removed 
om the order. We exclude C. auriculata and C. scandens of De Candolle, which 
appear to be more allied to Randia; and also C. iruncata, which, from its twining 
habit, the ovary with 2 ovules in each cell its annular truncate and obscurely 5- 
toothed limb to the calyx, and lobes of the corolla with hooked points, seems to form 
a distinct genus near Diplospora. C. cymosa, DC. is the same as Canthium didymum, 
Gertn., and Psydrax dicoccos, Gertn.: C. thrysoidea, DC., belongs to Wendlandia. 
—As we agree with those who reduce the genus Webera among the mosses to a sec- 
tion of Bryum, we ought perhaps to have adopted that name here, instead of Stylo- 
coryne, but have not done so in order to prevent confusion, and in deference to those 
who differ from us about what ought to constitute a genus of Musci. 
1236. (1) S. Webera (A. Rich.:) shrubby, glabrous: leaves lanceolate-ob- 
long, shining: corymbs trichotomous, terminal: calyx-limb 5-cleft: tube of 
the corolla short, about twice the length of the calyx-tube, slightly widened 
and bearded at the mouth ; segments of the limb recurved, oblong, villous at 
their base along the middle, about twice as long as the tube: style slightly 
hairy ; stigma with 10 longitudinal somewhat winged angles : berry 2-celled, 
with 4-8 seeds in each cell.—Rich. in mem. soc. hist. nat. Par. 5. p. 248 ;

The flowers are almost always cleft in a quinary manner, but occasionally 
Some may be observed with 6 or rarely with only 4 divisions: specimens of 
the last have been figured by Gærtner as his Terenna (the Cinghalese name 
is Tarana not Tarenna), which is otherwise an excellent representation of 
the fruit of our plant. The young shoots are frequently covered over with a 
resinous exudation, whence probably Webera cerifera, Moon (cat. Ceyl. pl. 
P- 19), ought to be added to the above synonyms. 
1237. (2) S. monosperma (W. & A.:) shrubby, glabrous: leaves lanceo- 
late-oblong, shining: corymbs trichotomous, with rather few flowers, termi- 
nal: ealyx-limb cupulate, minutely 5-toothed : tube of the corolla elongated, 
infundibuliform, many times longer than the limb of the calyx, pubescent on 
the inside; segments of the limb oblong, glabrous, about half the length of 
the tube: ovary with 2-3 ovules in each cell: style slightly hairy ; stigma 
acute, compressed, with a furrow along each side: berry (white and about 
the size of a small cherry) fleshy, 1-celled, 1-seeded ; seed not angled.—

TRIBE III. HEDYOTIDER. Cham. and Schl. 
Ovary 2-celled; cells many ovuled. Fruit capsular, 2-celled, usual- 
ly loculicidal, rarely septicidal, sometimes somewhat membranaceous 
and indehiscent. Seeds several in each cell (rarely solitary or in pairs 
when the capsule is loculicidal), not winged. Albumen fleshy.— Trees, 
shrubs, or herbaceous plants. Leaves opposite or in threes. Stipules 
interpetiolar.
