Order CXLIX. SCITAIVEINE1E. (By J. G. Baker, F.E.S.) 



Herbs, often large, rarely with a woody caudex. Leaves cauline or 

 radical, usually membranous, closely pinnately nerved from a midrib. 

 Flowers bracteate and often bracteolate, solitary or spicate, rarely panicu- 

 late, irregular, hermaphrodite (except Musa}. Calyx superior ; sepals free 

 and imbricate, or connate into an entire- toothed or spathaceous tube. 

 Corolla-tube long or short, free or adnate to the petaloid staminc$s ; limb 

 3-partite, segments free or connate. Stamens either 5 subequal with a 6th 

 imperfect, or one perfect with the rest forming petaloid staminodes ; '^SBers 

 linear, 2-celled, or of one cell on the margin of a petaloid connective. Ovary 

 3-, rarely 1- or 2-celled; style usually slender, with 2 very short sty lodes 

 crowning the ovary ; stigma entire or subeutire ; ovules many, rarely few, 

 axile, rarely parietal, anatropous. Fruit usually crowned with the remains 

 of the perianth, loculicidally 3-valved, or fleshy or membranous and inde- 

 hiscent. Seeds various, albumen flowery ; embryo small. Genera about 

 40, species 4-500, chiefly tropical. 



The Traveller's tree, Harcnala, madagascariensis, Sonnerat (Urania speciosa, 

 Wall. Cat. 5765), is frequently planted, especially near Singapore. It has much 

 the leaves of a Musa but they are distichous. 



Tribe I. Zing*ibereae. Calyx tubular or spathaceous. Stamen 1 ; 

 anther 2-celled ; lateral staminodes filiform or petaloid, or small, or 0. 

 Style slender, embraced below the stigma by the anther. Embryo central, 

 straight.
