7. Calycopteris Lamk. 1 — Flowers hermaphrodite (nearly of 

 Guiera or Gombrctii.m) apetalous, 5-merous ; receptacle enclosing 

 inferior germen and not produced beyond. Sepals 5, persistent, 

 accrescent. Stamens 10, enclosed, anthers 2-dymous. Germen 

 3-ovulate (of Comb ret inn). Fruit (small) ovoid, 5-gonal, o-sulcate, 

 somewhat villose, crowned with 5 accrescent membranous venose 

 obtuse and patent sepals, indéhiscent, 1-spermous ; cotyledons of 

 exalbuminous embryo convolute. — A climbing shrub, 3 glabrous or 

 oftener sericeo-villose ; leaves generally opposite petiolate entire 

 acuminate ; flowers crowded in axillary simple or terminal and very 

 ramose racemes. (East. India. 5 ) 



8. Terminalia L.* — Flowers hermaphrodite or polygamo-diœcious 

 (nearly of Gombretum) apetalous ; tube of receptacle ovoid or sub- 

 cylindrical, sometimes elongate-lageniform, not at all or scarcely, 

 sometimes a little (Ramatuella 5 ) or farther (Anogeissus^) produced 

 beyond germen, dilated above to a campanulate or suburceolate 

 cupule, glabrous or pilose within, sometimes glandular and calyci- 

 ferous at margin. Sepals rarely 4, oftenest 5, free or connate at base, 

 valvate, generally deciduous or rarely (Biicida 1 ) persistent. Stamens 

 4, 5, or most often 8-10, 2-seriate ; filaments subulate incurved, 

 finally exserted ; the alternisepalous inserted higher ; anthers versa- 

 tile or rarely (Buehenavia*) not mobile. Germen inferior; style 

 generally incrassate at base, at apex stigmatose simple and oftener
