Order LXXXIV. APOCYNACE-5:. (By Otto Stapf.) 



Flowers hermaphrodite, regular. Calyx inferior; sepals 5 (very 

 rarely 4) free or slightly (rarely more) united, more or less imbricate, 

 equal or more or less unequal, often with (usually scale-like) glands near 

 the base inside. Corolla salver- or funnel-shaped, rarely campanulate, 

 urceolate or subglobose, glabrous or more or less hairy within, some- 

 times with scales or callous protuberances or ridges in the tube or 

 mouth ; lobes usually convolute, overlapping and frequently also twisted 

 to the right or to the left, very rarely valvate. Stamens 5 (very rarely 4), 

 inserted in the corolla-tube or mouth : filaments filiform or more often 

 flattened and short or reduced to a callous swelling, often passing at the 

 base into more or less decurrent ridges projecting into the tube (filamental 

 ridges) ; anthers frequently conniving in a cone, either linear or oblong 

 (rarely elliptic), shortly and obtusely 2-lobed at the base with the anther- 

 cells parallel polliniferous and dehiscing to the base, or sagittate with 

 barren tails (very frequently formed by the continuation of the outer halves 

 of the cells), leaving the front basal part of the connective (foot) free ; foot 

 of the connective smooth or with various shaped projections or regular 

 groups of spreading hairs. Pollen nearly always spherical with 3 pores, 

 loose or rarely more or less cohering. Disc if present annular or cupular, 

 5-lobed or consisting of 2-5 scales, sometimes more or less adnatetothe 

 ovary. Ovary superior, or slightly inferior, of 2 (very rarely 3-5) 

 uuited or distinct carpels, if syncarpous, 1-celled with parietal or 2-celled 

 with central placentas, if apocarpous with ventral placentas. Style 1 , 

 entire or divided at the base ; stigma various, with or without a usually 

 bilid apiculus and frequently with a ring or other appendages, viscous 

 on the surface or exuding much glutinous matter and agglutinated to 

 the anthers or adnate to the projections of the foot of the connective. 

 Ovules anatropous, usually pendulous, few or many in each carpel.
