184 VERBENACE.E. 
HEMIGYMNIA. 
Tectona has rotate quite regular Cordia, or Ehretia- 
like flowers. 'The stamina are quite equal, and regularly 
exserted. The anthers are likewise equal, although of a 
form admitting of divarication of the cells. 
The calyx, looks Verbenaceous in Campanula and regular, 
rather deeply 5-6 partite. The style is subulate has 2 ves. 
sels, and each branch with two brachiate branches at the 
apex, each terminated by a punctiform papillose stigma. 
The ovary is glandular, (orange) at the base, it is really 4- 
celled, each cell has one anatropous ascending ovule (or sub- 
appended,) they appear to be nucleary, and are furnished 
with a very short raphal vessel. 
The zstivation of the calyx is imbricate, so is that of the 
corolla, 2 lacinee being outermost, and eee See 
right hand Fig. VI. Pl. CCCCXLVIII. 
- The calyx becomes completely enlarged nd depressed, 
and incurved apex inflated, and the ovarium becomes round 
completely spongy, presenting a St. George's Cross in the 
centre, the two larger arms being utrinque l-váscular, and 
is consequently the placental or true septa, the others are 
]-vasc., so that it only differs from the others in having the 
dorsal septe very complete. See Fig. VI. Pl. CCCCXLVIL 
The young seeds are completely appense. 
From Tectona, Hemigymnia differs in the ribbed calyx 
which becomes cupuliform in fruit with a crenate or denti- 
culate margin, and only appears to 4 enclose the pericarp, the 
attenuated subulate apex of which projects long beyond it 
it also differs in its infundibuliform corolla, contrasted with 
the rotate one of Tectona, though its calyx is infundibulifor™ 
which is singular. 
It also differs abundantly in its 4-partite style, with li- 
near stigmata whereby it approaches nearer Cordia tha" 
Tectona. 
I propose calling it from its half enclosed pericarp Hemi”
