Tribus V. Guatterie^e. 



Petala omnia conformia, hand unguiculata, plerumque plana, in 

 paucis basi concava, superne plana vel irregularis, sestivatione valvata 

 vel subaperta. Stamina indefinita, dense conferta. Carpella discreta, 



interduni solitaria. 



In this tribe, excepti -i the two first genera, which are anomalous, the petals are 

 quite flat, and general^ eathery or membranous in texture. In this respect they 

 differ essentially from Anonece and Xylopiea, and approach Uvariea, from which 

 they are only distinguished by the valvate (not imbricate) aestivation of the petals. 

 In some of the genera the petals are only valvate in the very young bud, separating 

 from one another at an early period. The two first genera are in many respects in- 

 termediate between Xylopiece and Guatteriea, but as their petals are uniform in 

 shape, and the inner ones, though concave at the base, are not triquetrous above, we 

 refer them to the present tribe.
