incurved embryo subequal oblong ; radicle accumbent ascending ; 

 albumen fleshy thicker between folds of embryo. Other characters 

 of Morus. — Trees ; with milky or opaline juice ; leaves alternate, 1 

 2-stichous, caducous, often polymorphous ; stipules lateral mem- 

 branous, caducous ; inflorescence axillary peduncidate solitary ; the 

 male amentiform (glomerulate) ; the female densely glomerulate on 

 spherical receptacle ; bracts interposed, truncate at clavate apex. 

 {South east. trop, and subtrop. Asia.-) 



18. Madura Nutt. 3 — Flowers dioecious (nearly of Morus or 

 Broussonetia) ; male sepals 4, free or connate below. Stamens 4 ; 

 filaments elastically oxsilient, finally long exserted. Female sepals 

 4, free, thick, imbricate and angular by mutual compression, thicker 

 at obtuse apex. Germen compressed sessile ; ■* style simply filiform 

 or 2 -partite ; the second branch very short subulate enclosed. Fruit 

 drupaceous (mesocarp slightly fleshy), collected and enclosed in glo- 

 bular fleshy syncarp formed of the accrescent mutually compressed 

 and closely approximate or coadunate calyces ; putamen coriaceous or 

 subcrustaneous ; albuminous seed and embryo nearly of Broussonetia. 

 — Spinous trees and shrubs ; wood yellow ; juice milky ; leaves 

 alternate petiolate, entire, serrate or rarely lobed ; stipules lateral, 

 caducous ; male flowers on amentiform receptacle (partly naked) 

 glomerulate or sometimes cymose ; female capitate ; other characters 

 of Broussonetia} [Both Americas warm and te?np. 6 ) 



19. Caturus Lour. 7 — Flowers dioecious (nearly of Broussonetia 

 or Madura) ; male calyx 3-fid or more rarely {AUœanthus*) 4-fid, im-
