CLASSIFICATION. 



4-6-lobed. Ovary not deeply divided. t)rupe with a 1-4- 



celled stone or 1-4 pyrenes. 81. Boraginace® (p. 472). 



Note.— While ^ the fruit of Cordiacese resembles that of some Ver- 

 benaceffl, the typical Boraginacese are herbs characterised by the deeply 

 lobed ovary, each lobe becomirg a 1-seeded nutlet as in Labiatse, the 

 seeds, however, are epitropous and those in Labiataa apotropone. Cor- 

 diacese is better kept as a distinct family as is done by Warming. 



82. The Teak Family. 



Trees, shrubs or herbs with opp. or whorled leaves* 

 Corolla sub-regular to 2-lipped. St. 4 or 2 (aB many as the 

 petals in Symphorema). Ovary 2-4-celled, entire or rarely 

 4-lobed Style terminal. Fruit a drupe with a 1 -4-celled 

 stone or with 1-4 1-seeded sometimes fleshy pyrenes. 



82. Verbenaceae (p. 476). 



Exceptions : — 



Barely there is only 1 ovule in each carpel (Lantana and Stachytar- 

 pheta). Duranta has an 8-celled ovary. 



83. The labiate or Mint Family. 



Herbs, rarely shrubs, abounding with aromatic glands, 

 usually with a 4-angled stem, opp. or whorled often toothed 

 leaves and dense axillary cymes or whorls of small flowers, or 

 cymes or whorls spicate or panicled. Fls. from sub-regular to 

 deeply lipped. Calyx sometimes 8- 10 -toothed (usually 

 5-toothed or 2-lipped). 8t. 2 or 4. Ovary deeply 4-lobed 

 with a gynobasic style. Ovule 1 in each lobe erect. Fruit 



of 4 nutlets. 83. Labiatae O 489). 



2. Inferse. Ovary inferior (see p. 53). 



Order VIII.— Robiales. (Closely allied to Logu^iuceie, 

 from which separated easily by the inferior ovary. 

 Allied also to Cornaceas among the Choripetalse). 



84.. The Coffee and Gardenia Family. 



Trees, shrubs or herbs with opp. leaves and inter petiola* 

 stipules, Fls. small or medium, regular, 2-sexual. Sepals 

 d-5 usually small, rarely obsolete. Corolla 4-5-lobed,
