COMBRETACE^. 283 



7. Calycopteris Lamk.i — Flowers hermaphrodite (nearly of 

 Guiera or Combretum) apetalous, 5-ii3erous ; receptacle enclosing 

 inferior germen and not produced beyond. Sepals 5, persistent, 

 accrescent. Stamens 10, enclosed, anthers 2-dymous. Germen 

 3 -ovulate (of Combretum) . Fruit (small) ovoid, 5-gonal, 5-sulcate, 

 somewhat villose, crowned with 5 accrescent membranous venose 

 obtuse and patent sepals, indehiscent, 1-spermous ; cotyledons of 

 exalbuminous embryo convolute. — A climbing shrub, ^ glabrous or 

 oftener sericeo-villose ; leaves generally opposite petiolate entire 

 acuminate ; flowers crowded in axillary simple or terminal and very 

 ramose racemes. (East. India.^) 



8. Terminalia L.* — Flowers hermaphrodite or polygamo-dioecious 

 (nearly of Combretum) apetalous ; tube of receptacle ovoid or sub- 

 cylindrical, sometimes elongate-lageniform, not at all or scarcely, 

 sometimes a little (BamatueUa^) or farther (Anogeissus^) produced 

 beyond germen, dilated above to a campanulate or suburceolate 

 cupule, glabrous or pilose within, sometimes glandular and calyci- 

 ferous at margin. Sepals rarely 4, oftenest 5, free or connate at base, 

 valvate, generally deciduous or rarely {Bucida?) persistent. Stamens 

 4, 5, or most often 8-10, 2-seriate ; filaments subulate incurved, 

 finally exserted ; the alternisepalous inserted higher ; anthers versa- 

 tile or rarely (Buchenavia^) not mobile, Germen inferior; style
