Stipulaceous Gillenia. Fl. Ju. Aug. Clt. 1805. PI. 1 to 1^ ft. 



Cult. The species of Gillenia are elegant plants, and there- 

 fore are worth cultivating in every collection of hardy herba- 

 ceous plants. They grow best in a peat border, and are readily 

 increased by dividing the plants at the root, in spring. 



f A genus doubtful whether it belongs to the present order. 



V. ADENILE'MA (from ati)v, aden, a gland, and i\n^i, 

 liilcmi, to be near ; glands on calyx). Blum, bijdr. 1120. 



LIN. SYST. Icosandria, Monogynia. Calyx campanulate, 5- 

 cleft, clothed with glandular pili on the outside. Petals 5, small, 

 inserted in the calyx. Stamens numerous, inserted with the 

 petals. Ovary 1. Style 1, crowned by a subpeltate stigma. 

 Capsule inclosed in the calyx, beaked by the permanent style, 

 1-celled, opening at the side, containing 8-12 seeds, which are 

 1 -ribbed, and fixed in a twin order on the sides of the opening 

 suture. Spermaderm testaceous. Embryo albuminous, with 

 leafy cotyledons and a short centripetal radicle. A sarmentose, 

 unarmed shrub, with the habit of Rubus, with alternate, cordate, 

 acuminated, 3-lobed, deeply serrated, bistipulate leaves. Flowers 

 unibracteate, disposed in terminal racemose panicles. This 

 genus apparently approaches the NeUlia.

 mount Gede.

ORDER LXXXII. QUILLAME-iE (plants agreeing with 

 Quillaja in important characters). D. Don, in edinb. phil. 

 journ. for Jan. 1831. 



Calyx 5-cleft (f. 68. a.), valvate in aestivation (f. 68. rf.). 

 Petals 5 (f. 68. &.), alternating with the calycine segments, but 

 sometimes wanting. Stamens definite in number from 10-15, 

 inserted in the calyx ; anthers bilocular. Ovaries 5 (f. 68. e.), 

 connate at the base, 1-celled, containing numerous erect ovula. 

 Styles 5 (f. 68./.). Stigmas unilateral, papillous. Follicles 5 

 (f. 68. e.), disposed in a circle, connate at the base. Seeds dis- 

 posed in 2 rows, inserted on the inner suture of the follicles, 

 ascending, winged at the apex, with the umbilicus at the base ; 

 the testa simple and membranous. Albumen wanting. Embryo 

 erect, with foliaceous convolute cotyledons, and a terete radicle, 

 which is shorter than the cotyledons, pointing to the umbilicus. 

 South American trees, with alternate undivided leaves, small 

 caducous stipulas, and terminal dioecious flowers. This order 

 differs essentially both from Rosacete and Spirceacece in the 

 erect ovula, and from the latter also in the valvular aestivation of 

 the calyx. The habit of the plants composing this order is like- 

 wise abundantly different. 



Synopsis of the genera. 



1 KAGEN^'CKIA. Calyx saucer-shaped, furnished with a ring 

 a little elevated on the inside, girding the ovaries. Petals want- 

 ing ? Stamens 15, 5 of which alternate with the lobes of the 

 calyx, the rest by pairs opposite the lobes. 



2 QUILLA'JA. Calyx 5-cleft (f. 68. a.). Disk 5-lobed (f. 

 68. c.), stellate, fleshy. Petals 5 (f. 68. 6.), spatulate, unguicu- 

 late. Stamens 10, disposed in 2 series, 5 of which are inserted 



in the middle of the calycine lobes, and the other 5 in the throat 

 of the calyx. 



3 VAUQUELI'NIA. Calyx 5-cleft. Petals 5. Stamens 15- 

 20, exserted with the petals from the throat of the calyx. 



4 LINDLE'YA. Calyx 5-cleft. Petals 5. Stamens 15-20, in- 

 serted in the disk in the throat of the calyx. Carpels 5, connate 

 their whole length. Styles 5, concrete. 



I. KAGENECKIA (the authors of the Flora Peruviana have 

 dedicated this genus to Frederick de Kageneck, ambassador 

 from the king of Holland to the king of Spain). Ruiz et Pav. fl. 

 per. prod. t. 37. H. B. et Kunth, nov. gen. amer. 6. p. 236. 

 D. C, prod. 2. p. 547. D. Don, in edinb. phil. journ. Jan. 

 1831. 



LIN. SYST. Icosandria, Pentagynia. Calyx saucer-shaped, 

 10-ribbed on the outside, permanent; limb 5-cleft, furnished on 

 the inside with an elevated hardly membranous ring girding the 

 ovaries ; lobes recurved, acuminated or obtuse. Petals want- 

 ing? or 6, orbicular? Stamens 15, 5 of which alternate with the 

 calycine lobes ; the rest by pairs opposite the calycine lobes ; 

 filaments dilated at the base. Anthers cordate, oblong. Stigmas 

 with cucullate disks. Carpels 5, follicular. Trees, with dotless, 

 glandularly serrulated leaves. Stipulas small, gland-formed. 

 Flowers terminal, polygamous. 



1 K. OBLONG A (Ruiz et Pav. fl. per. syst. 1. p. 289.) leaves 

 oblong, obtuse, coriaceous, serrulated ; glands of teeth decidu- 

 ous ; flowers solitary. Tj . G. Native of Chili, on mountains 

 about Conception. Lydae'a Lyday, Mol. chil. ed. 2. p. 300. In 

 its native country it is commonly called guayo Colorado, but ac- 

 cording to Molino, Lyday. The wood is used to build houses in 

 Chili. The leaves being very bitter are used by the inhabitants 

 of Chili to cure intermittent fevers, as also those of the follow- 

 ing species. 



O6/ong--leaved Kageneckia. Fl. Aug. Dec. Tree 30 feet. 



2 K. LANCEOLA'TA (Ruiz et Pav. fl. per. syst. p. 290. gen. p. 

 145. t. 37.) leaves lanceolate or obovate, membranous, serrulat- 

 ed ; glands of teeth permanent ; flowers corymbose. Tj . G. 

 Native of Peru, on hills in the province of Canta. 



Lanceolate-leaved Kageneckia. Fl. Nov. Dec. Tree 20 ft. 



3 K. GLUTINOSA (H. B. et Kunth, nov. gen. amer. 6. p. 237.) 

 leaves oblong and oblong-lanceolate, acute, narrow at the base, 

 sharply crenately serrated ; branches clammy. Tj . G. Native 

 of South America, on the Andes in the province of Jaen de Bra- 

 camoros. 



C7a*jy-branched Kageneckia. Tree 12 to 20 feet. 



Cult. These trees will grow well in a mixture of loam, peat, 

 and sand, and ripened cuttings will probably root if planted in a 

 pot of sand, with a hand-glass placed over them in a little bot- 

 tom heat.
