MO NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 



in new branches or to leaves or bracts of the past year, solitary, 

 cymose or racemose-cymose. 1 (All warm and temp, regions}) 



G. Gironniera Gaudicii. 3 — Flowers dioecious (nearly of Celtis), 

 4-5-merous ; sepals imbricate, persistent under the fruit, scarcely 

 accrescent. Stamens 4, 5 (in female flower 0) ; filaments incurved 

 inserted under pilose rudiment of gynœcium. Germon 1 -ovulate 

 (of Celtis) ; style branches sometimes free to base filiform elongately 

 subulate, densely papillose, not plumose. Fruit drupaceous com- 

 pressed-lenticular ; exocarp scarcely fleshy ; putamen crustaceous 

 brittle, sometimes rugose without. — Trees or shrubs unarmed 

 strigose ; leaves 2-stichous, entire or serrulate penninerved ; stipules 

 subintra-axillary free rather wide convolute, closely enfolding the 

 twig, afterwards caducous and after their fall leaving annular scars ; 

 flowers in loose or close sometimes spike-like cymes ; the male often 

 glomerulately spicate or densely crowded. (Trop. Asia, Malaya, 

 Pacific Islands}). 



7. Trema Lour. 5 — Flowers (nearly of Celtis) polygamo-monœ- 

 cious ; sepals 5, in aestivation induplicate-valvate below, more or 

 less imbricate above, in female flower generally unequal and oftener 

 quincuncially imbricate at base. Stamens 5, inserted under pilose 

 hypogynous disk ; filaments subulate ; anthers introrse. Germen 

 (in male flower rudimentary), ovule and other characters of Celtis)
