ovoid, shortly clavate or turbinate. Calyx oftener short, dentate or 

 variously lobed, persistent or deciduous. Corolla hypocraterilbrm ; 

 tube sometimes very elongate, slender, straight or slightly curved ; 

 throat glabrous or variously pilose ; lobes of limb 5, or more rarely 4, 

 imbricate. Stamens as many, inserted at bottom of tube ; ' filaments 

 free or 1-adelphous at base, slender, glabrous or pubescent; anthers 

 elongate introrse, dorsifixed to base, oftener exserted ; cells rimose, 

 free below. Germen 2-celled ; disk epigynous annular or depressed 

 conical ; style slender, attenuate at base and there sometimes articu- 

 late, stigmatose apex exserted capitate or short-conical, sometimes 

 obtuse or shortly 2-lobed. 0\'Tiles oo, inserted on a placenta adnata 

 to septum, ascending or radiating or more rarely subhorizontal super- 

 posed. Fruit capsular oblong, ovoid or subclavate, septicidal; valves 

 2, entire or 2-lobed. Seeds oo, imbricate, variously produced to a 

 wing ; albumen fleshy ; cotyledons of small embryo subovate. — Trees 

 or shrubs, sometimes spinescent ; bark bitter ; leaves opposite, some- 

 times small, petiolate or subsessile ; stipules inter- or intrapetiolar, 

 simple or 2-lobed, deciduous ; flowei*s ^ teraiinal or axillary, in corym- 

 biform cymes or in ramose racemes, sometimes few or sohtary, brac- 

 teolate or ebracteolate.^ {Cent. America, Antilles, Tonga and Feejee is."^) 

 186. Luculia Sweet. ^ — Flowers 5-merous ; receptacle turbinate. 

 Calyx lobes unequal oblong subfoliaceous, imbricate, deciduous. 

 Corolla hypocrateriform ; tube long, scarcely enlarged to throat ; lobes 

 of limb imbricate, sometimes callous at base, open. Stamens inserted 

 in tube ; filaments short, sometimes connate with tube below ; anthers 

 dorsifixed, introrse, enclosed or exserted only at apex. Germen 2- 

 celled ; disk annular ; branches of slender subclavate style 2, enclosed, 

 narrow, stigmatose within. Ovules oo, inserted on 2-lamellate re volute
