This is only known from some fruits drawn by Delpy from a specimen in Pierre's 

 Herbarium. The fruits are conico-cylindrical, truncate at both ends, 2^ in. long and 

 1-1;^ in. in diiim. The seeds are semigloboseor oblong or wedge-shaped. I suspect 

 it is a species of Carpodinus. 



4. CARPODINUS, R. Br. ; Benth. et Hook. f. Gen. PI. ii. 693. 



Calyx small ; sepals 5 or 4, ovate ; hairy, rarely glabrous, eglandular. 

 Corolla salver-shaped; tube cylindric, 4-12 lin. long, rarely shorter, 

 usually slender, widened and staminiferous just below the mouth ; 

 mouth naked, often much constricted by a callous ring ; lobes 5, narrow, 

 overlapping to the left. Stamens included ; filaments very short, 

 slender; anthers lanceolate, acute, obscurely 2-lobed at and dehiscent 

 to the base. Disc 0. Ovary entire, hairy, rarely glabrous (§ Stereoneuron), 

 1 -celled ; placentas 2, parietal ; style filiform, very slender, usually long ; 

 stigma surrounded by the anthers, more or less annulate at the base, 

 ovoid-subulate or conical above, bifid; ovules numerous, pluriseriate. 

 Fruit a globose, ovoid, conical or pear-shaped berry, sometimes very 

 large. Seeds not very numerous, embedded in a juicy pulp, ovoid, com- 

 pressed or irregularly flattened ; albumen bony ; cotyledons foliaceous, 

 very thin ; radicle short. — Hairy or glabrous shrubs, usually climbing 

 with flagelliform (often hook -branched) terminal or axillary tendrils, 

 rarely undershrubs throwing up fresh shoots yearly. Leaves opposite, 

 very rarely 3-4-nate, usually middle-sized, rarely up to 12 in. long or 

 below 2 in. ; secondary nerves usually distant, never very close ; axillary 

 stipules ; axillary glands subulate, usually few and short in § Djeratonia 

 (except C. rufinervis), very obscure in some species of § Antchinea, 

 otherwise 0. Flowers middle-sized, rarely less than | in. long in the 

 mature bud, usually sessile or subsessile, solitary or in axillary much 

 contracted few-flowered clusters, rarely distinctly or even long pedicelled, 

 and solitary or in axillary and terminal or exclusively terminal very 

 few-flowered cymes. 



Over 25 endemic species, some incompletely known. 



*Djeeatonia. — Climbing shrubs. Leaves opposite, glabrous or hairy below ; 

 secondary nerves distant, oblique, about 4-8 on each side, much raised below, connected 

 by bold arches rather remote from the margins; midrib finely channelled above, much 

 raised below. Flowers sessile or subsessile in axillary clusters. Ovary hairy.
