424 RUBIACE. PÆDERIA. 
suspect that they form but one enn: Jack says there are no stipules, and that 
the peduncles are many-flowered : in our specimens there are certainly stipules, and 
the cymes are short and seldom bear more than 10 or 20 flowers. In the only ripe 
fruit we have seen, there appeared to be one hard nut with 2 cells, but as it 1s not 
improbable that the ci $ state is to have 2 one-celled nuts, we have followed Jack 
in that particular.

Our specimens of this plant are from the Madras herbarium, and were 
named Lumnitzera racemosa, to the leaves of which those of the .present 
plant bear a strong resemblance: in the same sheet were a few leaves and 
flowers of the true Lumnitzera, so that we have no doubt but that the two 
had been gathered at the same time and in similar situations, but we do not 
know the precise locality. 
TRIBE V. PEDERIEX. DC. 
Fruit 2-celled, indehiscent but scarcely fleshy, the outer coat (tube 
of the calyx) separating readily from the carpels: carpels compressed, 
l-seeded, pendulous from a filiform axis. Albumen fleshy —Climbing 
shrubs with opposite leaves and interpetiolar stipules.

Calyx-tube ovate : limb small, 5- (or rarely 4-) toothed, persistent. Co- 
rolla infundibuliform, hirsute internally, 5- (or rarely 4-) lobed, with a pli- 
cate sstivation. Stamens 5, sometimes abortive: anthers oblong, almost 
sessile on the middle of the tube. Style not exserted. Stigma bifid. Berry 
small, ovate-globose, 2-celled, 2-seeded ; the outer-coat at length. brittle. 
Albumen fleshy. Embryo straight: radicle terete, inferior: cotyledons flat, 
foliaceous, large: plumule inconspicuous.—Climbing shrubs. Leaves oppo- 
mte, petioled, lanceolate, ovate or cordate, acute. Stipules solitary on each 
side. Peduncles terminal and axillary, branched, somewhat corymbose. 
Flowers small, white, often dicecious from abortion. ; 
The erect species, P. recurva, Roxb., P. erecta, Roxb., and P. ternata, je 
belong neither to the present genus nor tribe of Rubiacee :jthe horny albumen, an 
seeds grooved on the inner side, at once shew their affinity with the subtribe Cofee: 
We also reject P. Valli-Kara, Juss., a plant only known from Rheede's F an 
description, the one contradicting the other in many particulars: the author seems 
to have had before him two widely different plants, neither of which perhaps belongs 
to Rubiacee.

the tube of the calyx, and not the seed, he describes. either 
nor Geertner’s figures are good.
