11, Kematostylis Hook, f.^ — Flowers hermaphrodite, 5-merous 

 (of Pavetta) ; calyx lobes dissimilar ; 4 smaller, unequal, subulate ; 

 the fifth foliaceous. Corolla tubular, pilose within, contorted or rarely 

 imbricate. Stamens 5, enclosed. Germen 2-celled ; disk epigynous 

 small ; style far exserted slender, at apex stigmatose capitellate trun- 

 cate or 2-dentate. Ovule in cells 1, descending; hilum incrassate ; 

 micropyle introrsely superior. Fruit . . . ? — A puberulous shrublet ; 

 leaves opposite elliptical coriaceous ; petiole short ; stipules . . . ? ; 

 flowers ^ in terminal corymbiform cymes and with foliaceous bracts.^ 

 (Madagascar.'^) 



78. Lamprothamnus Hiern.-^ — Flowers (nearly of Cremaspora or 

 (76)jf<^«) 4-7-merous ; calyx imbricate. Corolla funnel-shaped; throat 

 pubescent ; lobes of limb 4-7, closely contorted. Stamens same in 

 number ; anthers elongate -fusiform, dorsifixed to very short filament, 

 versatile, 2-rimose. Germen 2-celled ; disk epigynous glabrous ; 

 style elongate-fusiform exserted, at apex 2-fid or 2-dentate. Ovule 

 in cells 1, descending short ; hilum much dilated arilliform ; raphe 

 dorsal. Fruit . . . ? — A shrub ; leaves opposite oval subsessile glossy ; 

 stipules interpetiolar apiculate ; flowers ^ in terminal corymbiform 

 shortly pedicellate cymes. ^ (Zanzibar.^) 



79. Knoxia L.^ — Flowers hermaphrodite or polygamous, 2-mor- 

 phous, 4, 5-merous ; teeth or lobes of superior calyx 4, 5, more or 

 less unequal; anterior 1, 2, sometimes larger foliaceo-lanceolate 

 (Fentanisia^^) . Corolla funnel-shaped-campanulate or hypocrateriform ; 

 lobes 4, 5, valvate ; throat variously pilose. Stamens 4, 5, inserted 

 in throat, enclosed or exserted ; anthers introrse, often subsessile. 

 Germen 2-celled ; disk epigynous orbicular ; style slender far exserted, 

 at apex stigmatose truncate or capitellate (Fentaiiisia) or oftener 

 2-lobed. Ovules in cells solitary, descending; raphe dorsal, sometimes
