222 Dr. Cor RE A on two Genera of Plant i 



The following is the fructification of the Craieva marmelos of 

 Liiine, to which, conceiving it to be a new genus, I give the 

 name of 



iE G L E *. 



* FLOS. 



Cal. Perianthlian monophyllum pai'vum quinquelobum fiuc- 



tum non comitans +. 

 Cor. Petala quinque calyce multoties majora, patentia ovato- 



acuta. 

 Stam. Ftlamenta plurima brevia fubulata in receptaculi elevati, 



feu difci hypogyni parte externa infertaj Anthera ob- 



longas ereftse. 

 PiST. Germen ovatum fuperum. Stylus brevis crafTus. Stigma 



ovale (fulcis plurimis obfolete fulcatum juxta Kcenig). 



** FRUCTUS. 



Induvi^ nullas. ^ 



Peric. . Bacca corticofa turbinate- globofa, cortice glabro fcrobi- 

 culato per maturitatem hgnofo. Loculamenta (in meo 

 fpecimine) decern cindla carne fpongiofa, pofi: matu- 

 ritatem evanida. 



PlAcent. Chorda pljlillaris % compofita centralis ; chordulx par- 



* One of the Hefperides. 



f The calyx remains after the flowers decay, but falls before the maturity of the fruitj 

 M I have feen in the fpecimens which I have obferved. 



% In every fruit, properly fo called, there is a longitudinal bundle of fibres and vefTels 

 which may be traced from the infertion of the fruit in the receptacle to the ftigma : to 

 this bundle the feeds are affixed, from it they originated, and through it they are moli 

 probably fecundated. This important bundle I call chorda pijlillaris.
