RUBIACi:^. 285 



Strehlosa ^ is a climbing Psycho tria of the Indian Archipelago, with 

 leaves slightly hairy, whose corolla is said to be slightly imbricate ; 

 but we have always seen it valvate. 



Mapouria ^ comprises Psychotrias in which the face of the albumen 

 is neither traversed by a vertical furrow, nor concave, nor involute, 

 but flat or nearly so. The large caducous stipules are often mem- 

 branous.^ 



Straiissia ^ consists of Oceanic Psijchotrias, with long-pedunculate 

 cymes, short articulate pedicels, and basifixed anthers. 



Parastraussia,^ also Oceanic, has flowers united in loose cymes, 

 with an obconical, depressed ovary, a short campanulate calyx, 

 a short corolla, much depressed in the bud, covered with silky hairs, 

 and stamens inserted between the lobes of the corolla. 



Cleisocratera ^ is a Psychotria of Borneo, with *^ leaves slightly 

 seiTulate," tetramerous flowers united in slender terminal cymes and 

 dentate calyx. 



Proscephalium '^ is a Javan Psychotria, said to be ** pseudo-para- 

 sitic," the pentamerous flowers of which have a thick pedicel, a 

 bilocular ovary and a style with a large stigmatiferous head, obtusely 

 bilobed. 



Calycosia,^ Oceanic Psychotrias whose calyx, often caducous, is 

 usually developed into a rather large membranous 5-fid horn. The 

 terminal inflorescences are cymes which may contract and conse- 

 quently resemble capitules. 



Suteria^ has also a calyx in the form of a bell or dilated tube, 

 particularly in Godonocahjx,^° where it is divided above into ^Ye wide 

 lobes. The flowers are in terminal or oftener axillary cymes, and
