truncate. Corolla tubular at base ; throat glabrous ; lobes of limb 

 closely contorted. Stamens 5, 6, inserted in tube; filaments very 

 short ; anthers dorsifixed ; connective thick, convex on both sides ; 

 cells linear submarginal adnate introrse. Germen 2 -celled (of Coffea) ; 

 disk epigynous broad; style branches 2, at apex perceptibly dilated 

 shortly and obtusely conical. Fruit oblong-obconical coriaceous, 1, 

 2-celled ; seed adnate to septum oblong ; embryo . . . ? — A glabrous 

 shrub; ramules thick, resiniferous to apex; leaves opposite oblong 

 obtuse, petiolate coriaceous reticulately veined; stipules interpetiolar 

 obtuse connate in sheath ; flowers ^ in axillary very shortly pedunculate 

 cymes ; pedicels short ; bracts obtuse resiniferous.^ (Madagascar.^) 



32 ? Psilanthus Hook, f.* — Flowers nearly of Coffea ; calycinal 

 teeth 5, persistent and accrete in a lanceolate foliole. Tube of 

 hypocrateriform corolla long slender; lobes 5, oblong, contorted. 

 Stamens 6, inserted at mouth of corolla; anthers sessile dorsifixed 

 elongate, semi-exserted ; connective produced in a claw beyond cells. 

 Germen 2-celled ; disk thick ; branches of slender style 2, narrow 

 obtuse. Ovule &c. of Coffea. Fruit crowned with foliaceous calyx, 

 oblong, drupaceous ; flesh scanty ; endocarp hard ; seeds . . . ? — A 

 glabrous shrub ; leaves opposite coriaceous oblong-acuminate ; petiole 

 short ; stipules intrapetiolar acute ; ramules to leaves ceraceo-resini- 

 ferous; flowers^ axillary solitary, calyculate.^ (Fernando -Po.'^) 



33. Ixora L.^ — Flowers generally 5-merous, more rarely 4-6- 

 merous (nearly of Coffea); calyx various, sometimes entire (Mijonyma^), 

 or deciduous (Rutidea ^^). Corolla often hypocrateriform ; tube slender
