432 RUBIACEÆ GRUMILEA. 
XXV. GRUMILEA. Geærtn. fr. 1. t. 28. f. 2. 
© Calyx-tube obovate, very short ; limb cup-shaped, truncated and 5-tooth- 
ed. Corolla infundibuliform ; tube short, villous in the mouth: limb 5-par- 
tite, segments incurved at the point: sestivation valvular. Stamens 5, in- 
serted upon the tube: filaments short: anthers oblong, exserted. Style fili- 
form, the length of the tube or of the corolla, surrounded at the base by a 
short cylindrical or 5-lobed fleshy disk. Stigma bipartite (occasionally 3- 
partite) ; divisions thick. Berry crowned with the converging limb of the 
calyx, ovate-globose, somewhat coriaceous, 2- (or occasionally 3- sometimes 
‘from abortion 1-) celled. Seeds solitary in each cell, plano-convex or angled. 
Albumen somewhat cartilaginous, grumose (divided into small lobes by nu- 
merous chinks and fissures). Embryo erect, small, slightly curved, some- 
what dorsal: cotyledons lanceolate.—Glabrous shrubs. Leaves opposite, 
petioled, attenuated at the base. Stipules usually with hair at their base on 
the inside, often caducous. Corymbs terminal. Flowers sessile. 
Several East Indian species of Psychotria, as P. Reevesii, belong to’this genus. 
1829. (1) G. subinteger (W. & A. Q erect: leaves long-petioled, oblong- 
lanceolate, tapering at the base: stipules oval, caducous: corymbs long-pe- 
duncled with rarely a pair of leaves at the lowest branches, naked (or with 
minute bracteas): calyx-limb membranaceous, entire with 5 minute teeth: 
tube of the corolla very short, scarcely so long as the limb of the calyx: 
berry globose, not furrowed.— Wight ! cat. n. 1346. 
Sent formerly to Dr Wallich as a species of Ivora : we do not know under 
what name it is inserted in his List. 
. . 1380. (2) G. congesta (W. & A.:) erect: leaves short-petioled, oblong, 
acuminated at both ends, becoming yellowish by drying: stipules broadly 
triangular, cuspidate, caducous : corymbs sessile, at first compact and scarce- 
. ly lenger than the stipules, afterwards larger but also compact or rarely 
when in fruit, naked: calyx-limb somewhat bluntly 5-toothed: 
tube of the corolla short, scarcely longer than the calyx-limb: berry ovoid, 
not furrowed.— Wight ! cat. n. 1347. 
. The fruit is black and similar to the figure of Geertner’s G. nigra: perhaps 
it may be that species. Dr Wight sent it formerly to Dr Wallich without a 
name, but it does not appear to be in his List. The hair inside the stipules 
close to the corymb is very copious and of a bright tawny colour. 
XXVI. PSYCHOTRIA. Linn. 
Calyx-tube ovate ; the limb short, 5-lobed, 5-toothed or somewhat entire. 
Corolla infundibuliform, usually short, 5- (or rarely 4-) cleft, regular: throat 
glabrous or bearded ; limb spreading or recurved, segments incurved at the 
point: sstivation valvular. Stamens 5 or rarely 4; the anthers exserted OF 
included within the throat of the corolla. Stigma bifid. Berry drupaceous, er 
containing 2 nuts, erowned with the limb of the calyx, usually marked with 
10 ribs by drying, sometimes 4-angled and with 4 furrows, sometimes even. 
Nuts chartaceously coriaceous, ribbed, angled or even, 1-seeded. Seed erect, 
with a cartilaginous solid (not ruminated) albumen.— Trees or shrubs, rare- 
ly herbaceous plants. Leaves opposite, petioled. Peduncles usually termi- 
nal. Flowers panicled or corymbose. ca 
De Candolle's definition is much more limited: he requires a short corolla, a 10- 
ribbed fruit, ribbed nuts, and a small erect embryo at the base of the albumen; but
