46. Coussarea Aubl.^ — Flowers generally 4-merous (nearly of 

 Uragoga) ; cells of germen 2, often incomplete above or nearly to 

 base ; septum short or 0. Calyx short entire or dentate {Faramea ^), 

 or cupular (Eucoussarea ^), rarely larger membranous {Homaloclados ^). 

 Lobes of corolla short or elongate ; margins more or less thick, valvate. 

 Ovules suberect, free or dorsally more or less connate with base of 

 septum {Eucoussarea). Fruit fleshy or coriaceous &c. of Uragoga,^ — 

 Trees, shrubs or undershrubs, sometimes subscandent; branches 

 sometimes compressed or 4-gonal ; leaves opposite, oftener glabrous 

 entire ; stipules intrapetiolar generally connate in a sheath ; flowers ^ 

 terminal in ramose-compound, sometimes corymbiform or capituHform 

 cymes. {Trop. America.^) 



YI. MORINDE^. 



47. Morinda Vaill. — Flowers hermaphrodite or more rarely 

 polygamous ; receptacle saclike, enclosing adnate germen and exter- 

 nally connate with receptacles of adjacent flowers. Calyx superior 

 gamophyllous, entire, sometimes very short or more or less deeply 

 sinuate, dentate or lobed. Corolla funnel-shaped, hypocrateriform or 

 subcampanulate, sometimes almost quite dialypetalous (Chorimorinda); 

 foholes of stamens by means of filaments coalescent ; lobes of more 

 or less expanded limb 4, 5, more rarely more, rather thick, valvate. 

 Stamens as many alternate ; filaments short or elongate, inserted at 

 bottom of tube or on receptacle either free from throat or coadnate
