NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 



shaped or hypocrateriform ; tube more or less elongate or very long, 

 straight or curved; throat glabrous or pilose; limb various; lobes 

 3-10, imbricate and marginally more or less attenuate or crispate, 

 valvate or subvalvate {Timonius,^ Chomelia,^ Mcdanea^), Stamens 

 same in number as petals ; * filaments rather long, short or ; anthers 

 dorsifixed introrse, oftener elongate. Germen 2-oo -celled ; ^ lobes 

 of style 2- 00 , more or less free, pointed or thickened.^ Ovules in 

 cells solitary descending elongate cylindrical ; raphe dorsal.^ Fruit 

 drupaceous; putamens 2-oo , or 1, x -celled; cells irregular or some- 

 times radiately 2-oo -seriate. Seed descending cylindrical ; albumen 

 membranous or 0; embryo axile fleshy conformed to seed oftener 

 cylindrical ; radicle terete superior. — Small trees or shrubs, glabrous 

 or oftener pilose ; leaves opposite or rarely verticillate, sessile or 

 petiolate ; stipules various, generally intrapetiolar, deciduous or 

 caducous ; flowers ^ rarely solitary or few, oftener crowded cymose ; 

 cymes sometimes spuriously capitate, often 1 -parous, secund, bracteate 

 or ebracteate, sometimes {Hodgldnsonia) spuriously umbellate by 

 superposition. {All trop. regions.^)

•* In females often fewer, or sterile, without 

 or with effete anthers. 



* Cells often fewer in male flower than in 

 female or effete. 



* Often in male flower elongate-subulate, gla- 

 brous or slightly tomentose, sometimes very long 

 flexuose, as in Hodykinsonia (F. Muell. Fragm.

 of Guettarda. Lobes of suburceolate corolla 

 valvate or slightly imbricate. Germen cells 4, 

 1 -ovulate. Ovule, as in the true Guettardas, 

 inserted under top of cell, cylindrical, conoid 

 below ; raphe dorsal ; micropyle introrsely su- 

 perior; hilum on both sides thickened to a 

 rudimentary aril. 



J' Hilum often thickened and in seed arillose. 



8 White, small or moderate.
