30 ? Comocladia P. Br.* — Flowers (nearly of Rims) hermaphro- 

 dite or polygamous, 3 or more rarely 4-merous ; sepals ' and petals 

 alternate, imbricate. Stamens equal in number to petals and alternate, 

 inserted below intervals of central disk lobes ; anthers introrse. 

 Germen sessile ; styles 3, very short, dilated, stigmatiferous at apex ; 

 ovule suspended from basilar funicle. Fruit drupaceous oliviform ; 

 testa of oblong seed thin ; cotyledons of exalbuminous embryo fleshy, 

 plano-convex ; radicle superior accumbent. — Trees with abundant 

 juice ; ^ leaves alternate, imparipinnate ; folioles opposite often coria- 

 ceous or spinose dentate ; flower '^ m axillary compound racemes, 

 sometimes subsimple. [Tropical America.^) 



31. Pistacia L.° — Flowers dioecious apetalous, male calyx small, 

 imbricated, 5-partite or 5-fid ; leaves bractiform. Stamens usually 

 5, inserted round small annular disk ; filaments free short ; anthers 

 2-rimose.^'' Germen rudimentary minute or 0. Female calyx 3-5- 

 fid or partite, imbricated. Germen 1-locular ; " style erect, after- 

 wards divided in 3 unequal or equal branches recurved or revolute, 

 stigmatiferous within ; ovule ascendent, suspended from subbasilar 

 funicle; micropyle introrse superior, obturated with more or less dilated
