 radicle short conical superior. A glabrous pellucid-punctuate tree ; 

 leaves alternate pedunculate, digitate, 3-foliolate or more rarely

74. LimoniaL. — Flowers hermaphrodite, 3-5-merous ; receptacle 

 convex. Sepals free or more or less high connate, imbricated. 

 Petals same in number alternate, longer imbricated. Stamens 

 double in number to petals ; filaments inserted below annular and 

 stipiform disk, more or less dilated at base free ; anthers introrse, 

 sometimes bearing dorsal or apical glands, introrsely rimose. Ger- 

 men seated on disk ; cells 2, or oftener equal in number to petals, 

 and opposite them ; style rather short continuous with summit of 

 germen, and often persistent (Gli/cosmis), or more rarely articulate at 

 base, finally deciduous, more or less dilated stigmatiferous at apex ; 

 ovules in each cell 1, 2, descending; micropyle extrorse superior. 

 Berry more or less pulpy, 1-5-locular, 1-5-spermous ; seeds covered 

 with mucilage ; embryo exalbuminous fleshy thick ; cotyledons 

 plano-convex often punctulate ; radicle short. — Odoriferous glandular- 

 punctuate trees and shrubs, often spinose ; leaves alternate, 1-3- 

 foliolate, or more rarely imparipinnate, exstipuiate ; petiole some- 

 times winged ; folioles opposite or alternate, entire or serrate ; 

 flowers axillary, or more rarely terminal in cymes (sometimes 

 1 -flowered), or in more or less ramified cymiferous racemes (some- 

 times leafy) {Trop. Australia, Africa, Asia). See p. 405.
