small. — A glabrous tree ;' leaves opposite, pinnate ; folioles largely- 

 serrate or subentire, pellucid-punctuate ; flowers in cymiferous ra- 

 cemes, often 2-chotomous" {Eastern Australia*). 



45. Pagetia F. Muell. 4 — Mowers (nearly of Evodia) 5-merous ; 

 petals subvalvate. Stamens 10, inserted below annular disk ; fila- 

 ments free, linear- subulate ; anthers cordate-ovate. Germen 5-sul- 

 cate ; styles 5, short, contorted in one ; stigmas minute, coalescing ; 

 ovules in cells 4-6. Cocci 5, distinctly 2-valved ; endocarp separat- 

 ing. — A tree ; leaves opposite, petiolate, simple, or 2, 3-foliolate ; 

 folioles ovate or cordate, unequal at base, coriaceous, glabrous, pen- 

 ninerved, veined ; terminal buds subglobose ; flowers 5 in ramified 

 3-chotomous terminal cymes {Eastern and Subtropical Australia*). 



46. Choisya H. B. K. 7 — Flowers hermaphrodite; receptacle 

 thickly convex. Sepals 5, imbricated, deciduous. Petals same in 

 number, alternate, longer, patent, imbricated. Stamens 10, of 

 which 5 oppositipetalous are shorter; filaments free, subulate, inserted 

 below glandular disk ; anthers introrse, 2-rimose. Carpels 5, o]3po- 

 sitipetalous ; germen free, base immersed in thick disk, outwardly 

 dorsally produced in erect cone ; styles same in number, inserted at 

 internal angle of ovary, afterwards coalescing among themselves in 

 an erect column, stigmatiferous, obtusely lobed, dilated at apex ; 

 ovules in each germen 2, descending; micropyle extrorse, superior. 

 Cocci 5, 2-valved ; endocarp solute ; seeds . . . ? — A glandular-punc- 

 tuate shrub (very fragrant) ; leaves opposite, petiolate, exstipulate, 

 3-foliolate ; petioles and folioles articulate at base ; flowers 8 in cymes 

 terminal or axillary to the upper leaves, 2, 3-chotomous, ramified ; 

 pedicels articulate at base, bracteolate {Mexico*).
