22. CALIilCHILIA, Stapf. 



Calyx small to middle-sized (up to G lin. long), herbaceous to sub- 

 coriaceous ; sepals 5, free, ovate or oblong, rarely lanceolate, often 

 unequal, each with several small glands inside the base. Corolla salver- 

 shaped ; tube slender and cylindric from the base to or somewhat beyond 

 the middle, then more or less widened and cylindric or narrowly funnel- 

 shaped ; lobes broad, large, asymmetric, overlapping to the left, not in- 

 flexed in bud. Stamens inserted at the constriction of the corolla-tube ; 

 anthers conniving in a cone, free from the stigma, lanceolate-oblong, 

 acute, 2-lobed to subsagittate at the base ; lobes or tails obtuse or sub- 

 obtuse, horny, solid ; filaments short, distinct, filiform, rarely reduced to a 

 large disc-like body. Disc annular, free, fleshy, more or less wavy or lobed. 

 Carpels 2, free. Style filiform ; stigma shortly subulate or cylindric, 2-fid, 

 papillose, with a large wavy and lobed fleshy viscous ring at the base or 

 clavate with a grooved thickening at the base ; ovules numerous, pluri- 

 seriate. Mericarps 2, free, baccate, divaricate, obliquely ovoid, rostrate, 

 tardily dehiscent (?) ; pericarp thin, leathery when dry. Seeds ellipsoid, 

 deeply grooved, coated with a thin aril ; testa crustaceous, honeycombed, 

 with the pits in longitudinal rows ; endosperm almost horny, scarcely 

 ruminate ; cotyledons flat, much shorter than the radicle. — Erect or 

 climbing, glabrous shrubs. Leaves opposite, papery or herbaceous; 

 axillary stipules short, joining across the stem ; axillary glands minute. 

 Inflorescences usually apparently inter-axillary, near to or somewhat 

 remote from the tips of the branches, or sometimes obviously terminal, 

 few- to 10-flowered, racemiform or umbelliform ; rhachis very short, 

 finally covered below with the persistent bracts and large scars of the 

 fallen flowers. Flowers showy, white, fragrant. — Taberncemontana, 

 Benth. et Hook. f. Gen. PI. ii. 706 partly. 



Species 5, "mostly closely allied, endemic. 



C. Barteri and C. suhsessilis are extremely similar in external appearance ; the 

 shape of the filament is, however, entirely diffei-ent, and the stigma of C. Barteri is, 

 so far as I have been able to make out its shape (it is buried in a drop of an extremely 

 sticky matter), more like that of a Conopharyngia. 



^Labanthera. — Filament short, filiform, not thickened at the top, inserted at 

 the forking point of the anther-tails. Stigma shortly subulate or cylindric, 2-fid, 

 papillose, with a wavy and lobed fleshy viscous ring at the base. 



Corolla-tube up to more than 2 in. long, staminiferous 



above the middle 1. C. monopodialis.
