I. RuBiEiE.' — Herbaceous plants the leaves of which, with the 

 stipules ordinarily conformed to them, form verticils {SteUatce^). 

 Flowers small, generally asepalous, with valvate corolla, uniovulate 

 cells (generally 2). Ovule ascending with micropyle exterior and 

 inferior. Fruit dicoccous, dry or fleshy. Seed with horny albumen 

 and curved embryo ; radical inferior. — 2 genera. 



II. Spekmacoce^.^ — Herbaceous, rarely frutescent, plants, rarely 

 glabrous, with leaves generally opposite, stipules small, often connate, 

 setiform. Flowers small, in cymes often capitate; corolla valvate. 

 Ovules solitary, ascending. Fruit with (most frequently) dehiscing 

 or indehiscing cocci. Seeds with fleshy and often horny albumen ; 

 embryo straight or curved with inferior radicle. — 9 genera. 



III. Anthrospeeme^.'^ — Shrubby or climbing, rarely herbaceous 

 (mostly fetid) plants with leaves often opposite, stipules unlike the 

 leaves. Flowers hermaphrodite or very often unisexual, or polygamo- 

 dioecious, with valvate corolla ; stamens (often dimorphous) ordinarily 

 exserted, with capillary filaments, anthers pendent (in the male flower), 

 versatile, elongate. Ovary cells 1-5 with one ascending ovule. Fruit 

 with 1-5 cocci or putamens often separating from each other and 

 from the exocarp. Seed albuminous ; embryo with flat cotyledons 

 and inferior radicle. — 18 genera. 



IV. Coffees. ^ — Woody plants with opposite leaves, smaller 

 stipules, connate in interfoliary pairs, generally entire. Corolla 

 twisted.^ Ovary generally 2-celled. Ovules solitary,'' ascending. 

 Fruit fleshy or coriaceous, indehiscent. Seeds generally plano-convex, 

 with homy more rarely fleshy albumen ; embryo more or less curved, 

 with flat, more or less foliaceous cotyledons and inferior radicle. — 5 

 genera.
