6. RADERMACHERA, Zoll. & Moritz. 



Trees. Leaves opposite, 1-3-pinnate. Flowers in terminnl panicles. 

 Calyx truncate or obtusely lobed. Corolla infundibuliform or campanu- 

 late, not bearded within on the lower side ; limb 5-lobed, sub-bilabiate, 

 the 2 upper lobes more or less connate. Stamens 4 (with a rudimentary 

 5th), didynamous, included; anthers glabrous, the cells much divergent. 

 Disk cuptiLir, fleshy. Ovary elongate; ovules numerous, many-seriate 

 in each cell, horizontal. Capsule linear, cylindric, 2-valved, often 

 spirally twisted ; valves coriaceous or woody ; dissepiment at length 

 free, spongy, thick, lllling the whole capsule. Seeds numerous, small, 

 with a membranous wing at each end : nucleus thin, flat, not ridged, 

 resting in a very slight depression, but not sunk in the septum ; coty- 

 ledons flat, not folded. — Distrib. India, Singapore, Java, Philippines; 

 species about 8. 



This genus, establislied in 1854 by Zollinger & Moritz (Zoll. Syst. Vcrz. Tnd. Arehip. 

 p. 53), has been placed under Siereot^permum in the ' Genera Plaiitaruni ' of Pentliain & 

 Hooker, but many autliors arc now agreed as to the advisability of agaiti separating 

 the two genera. Mr. W. B. Henislej (Hook. Icon. PI. t. 27-!8) points out tlie grounds 

 which render this separation desirable. In Sfcreo.y}cr»(U??i the ovules are arranged in 

 2 rows in each cell, tiie embryo is folded, and tiie seeds in consequence ridged on one 

 side, fitting into deep pit.s in the ])lacenta. \n Ixaderviachero the ovules are many- 

 siriate [8-seriato according to Bureau (Adunsonia, v. 2, p. 192)], the seeds are flat, 

 not ridged, re.sting in very slight depression.^, but nol at all imnieiscd in the placenta, 

 while the cotyledons are not folded.
