546 TENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. Morinda. 



cleft. Berry (rather drupe) aggregate, oval. Seeds or nut 

 regularly four and distinct to each proper berry, forming a 

 square, inserted pyramid, each one-seeded. Here the abor- 

 tive cell is scarcely visible. 



Obs. This species is immediately known by its exsert sta- 

 mens, half-concealed stigma, and broad-pointed leaves. In 

 all the other species figured and described by me, viz. citri- 

 folia, tinctoria, bracteata, multijiora, and anyustijlora the sta- 

 mens are enclosed, and the style exserted. 



5. M. multijiora. R. 



Sub-arboreous. Leaves opposite, oblong- ventricose, dow- 

 ny. Peduncles terminal and leaf-opposed, compound. An- 

 thers within ; stigma exert. 



Aal the vernacular name at Nagpore. 

 A native of Berar. From Nagpore the seed was sent by 

 Mr. Colebrooke, Resident at the Court of Rwghoojee Bmisla, 

 to the Botanic garden at Calcutta in 1801. By the close of 

 the same year the plants were in blossom, and in one year 

 more they have grown to large ramous shrubs, and now in 

 eight years they are small trees and in constant flower ; I may 

 farther remark that notwithstanding all the other four species 

 of Morinda already described and figured by me, grow to 

 be small trees, they generally blossom the first year of their 

 growth if the soil is good and the plants taken good care of. 

 Leaves very short- petioled, opposite, or opposite to a pe- 

 duncle, oval, tapering at each end, acute, margins waved ; 

 downy on both sides, particularly underneath ; from four to 

 six inches long, and from two to three broad. Stipules inter- 

 foliaceous. Peduncles variously disposed, viz. axillary, oppo- 

 site to a leaf, and terminal, one or more from the same place, 

 and often compound ; round, villous, from two to four inches 

 long. Heads sub-globular, many-flowered. Receptacles, 

 calyx and carol as in the genus. Filaments short. Anthers 

 linear, their apices even with the mouth of the tube of the 

 corol. Stigma two-cleft, and extended considerably beyond
