RUBIACE^. 293 



have named them Morinclella ;^ they are found in Madagascar and 

 New Caledonia. 



In Imantiua,^ also inhabiting New Caledonia, these axillary 

 glomeriiles are borne by a common peduncle ; they are often com- 

 posed of only two or three connate flowers, and even these may be 

 solitary at the end of the peduncle. 



In Ficnnellia^^ native of Malaya and the Indian Archipelago, the 

 glomerules are united so as to resemble a compound spike, on a 

 common thick terminal axis ; and there is only one ascending ovule 

 in each ovarian cell instead of two. 



Trihracluja f"^ like Fiennellia, is Morinda with uniovulate cells; the 

 flowers are in a loose terminal compound cluster, each axis of which 

 bears a small cyme of three flowers connate by their ovaries. It is a 

 native of Sumatra. 



In Dlhrachja,^ from Borneo, each glomerule is formed of only two 

 connate flowers. As in Tribrarhija, the lobes of the corolla are thick 

 and very pointed, and the ovarian cells are uniovulate. 



Thus defined,^ the genus Morinda comprises about sixty species,^ 

 from all tropical regions, rare, however, in America. 



Appunia may be defined as an American Morinda with biovulate 

 cells, whose flowers, united in a false capitule of cymes at the end of 

 a common axillary peduncle, have free, not connate, ovaries. 



In Coelospermum, inhabiting tropical Asia and Oceania, the flowers 

 are not only independent but pedicellate, articulate on the pedicels, 

 and the latter united in compound umbelliform cymes. The ovarian
