lobed-corrugate ; radicle short, cylindrical ; albumen 0, or scanty, 
mucilaginous between folds of cotyledons.—Trees ; leaves alternate, 
large, simple, oblong, undivided, penninerved or at base 3—5- 
nerved ; stipules small ; flowers axillary or lateral, springing from 
the wood, solitary or in cymes, sometimes in racemose cymes, scanty 
or © (Warm America). See p. 80. 
28? Herrania Govup.'—Flowers nearly of Theobroma; calyx 
3-5-fid ; petals 5, inflexed at apex, produced in linear ligules, some- 
times very long, circinate-involute before opening. Other characters 
of Theobroma. —Trees; trunk crowned with palmiform frondose 
coma; leaves: large, digitate, foliate ; inflorescence (of Zheobroma) 
springing from the trunk (Warm America’). 
29? Guazuma Prum.'—Flowers nearly of Theobroma; base of 
petals unguiculate-cucullate, inflexed ; laminæ ligulate, linear, deep 
2-fid. Stamens fertile, interposed to staminodes, 2, 3-nate. Cap- 
sule subglobose, ligneous, tuberculate-muricate, or sometimes with 
very long soft feathery hairs, much echinate, loculicidal at a greater 
or less distance from the apex, 5-valved. Seed albuminous ; embryo 
curved ; cotyledons foliaceous, inflexed-folded.—Trees, glabrous, or 
with stellate hairs tomentose; leaves usually oblique, unequally 
dentate ; flowers’ axillary or laterally cymose* (Zropical America’). 
30. Scaphopetalum Masr.’—Calyx 5-fid, sometimes irregular, 
2-partite, valvate. Petals 5, cucullate-concave, exappendiculate,
