10. SUDA, Mog. 
Flowers mostly bisexual, bracteolate. Calyx urceolate, 5- 
parted ; segments equal, thickish, fleshy, at length inflated and 
berry-like, sometimes dry and subcarinate (but never horned 
or winged). Stamens 5, hypogynous. Ovary cylindrical- 
ovate, truncate, sometimes with an annular disk; style 0; 
stigmas 38-5, compressed-lanceolate, papillose, divergent. 
Fruit utricular, compressed, in the closed calyx; pericarp very

11. CAROXYLON, Thunb. 
Flowers bisexual, 2-bracteate. Calyx 5-parted, the seg- 
ments at length dorsally-winged transversely, the apex erect 
or rarely, in fruit, reflexed. Stamens 5, hypogynous ; fila- 
ments flat. Disk cup-like, sometimes crenate. Ovary de- 
pressed-globose ; style long or short; stigmas 2, subulate or 
ovate, papillose above. Fruit utricular, depressed, enclosed 
in the hardened 5-rayed calyx; pericarp membranous. Seed 
horizontal, depressed-globose ; albumen 0; embryo coiled up 
or conical-spiral, green.—DC. Prod. xii. pt. 2. p. 172. 
Herbs or undershrubs, glabrous or pubescent, rarely nearly leafless. 
Leaves alternate or opposite, sessile, subcylindrical, fleshy. Flowers axil- 
lary, sessile, solitary or subsolitary.—4 South African species ; colonial name,

Orver Cl. AMARANTACE. 
Calyx 3-5-parted or -cleft, dry and membranous, mostly

alternating barren stamens; anthers 2-l-celled. Ovary 
single, ovate, compressed, free, 1-celled, 1- or several-ovuled ; 
ovules affixed to cords rising from the base of the cavity ; 
style terminal, simple ; stigma capitate, or 2-3 filiform stigmas. 
Fruit 1- or many-seeded, mostly enclosed in the unaltered 
calyx ; pericarp membranous (very rarely juicy), indehiscent 
or circumscissile. Embryo curved round copious, floury albu-
