involving radicle.—Trees or shrubs, often aromatic, odorous He/iloti 
(Myrodia) ; leaves alternate, entire or subdentate, penninerved or at 
base 3—5-nerved, sometimes palminerved (Awmatisia), glabrous or 
tomentose below; stipules minute linear; flowers! axillary or very often 
lateral or leaf-opposed, solitary or scantily cymose ; bracts few, small, 
more or less remote from flower (Zropical America’). See p. 104. 
80. Ochroma Sw.'—Flowers large ; calyx tubular-subinfundibuli- 
form, 5-lobed at apex ; lobes dissimilar, dilated on one or both sides, 
induplicate at margin or partly imbricate. Corolla (of Bombaz) 
5-merous, longer than calyx, contorted, finally revolute. Stamens « ; 
apex of subinfundibuliform column shortly 5-lobed, from middle to 
apex densely covered with adnate elongate-anfractuous anthers. 
Germen sessile, free ; cells 5-0 -ovulate ; apex of style stigmatiferous, 
entire, cylindrical, spirally 5-sulcate. Capsule elongated, 5-10-agonal, 
sometimes a little compressed, loculicidal 5-valved; pericarp out- 
wardly shortly, internally very densely woolly-villous; valves septife- 
rous at middle. Seeds œ, obovoid oblong, involute or in wool of carpel; 
testa thin coriaceous ; base of hilum exarillate ; albumen fleshy ; 
embryo rather fleshy ; cotyledons wide, involute at margin; radicle 
short.—Trees ; leaves alternate, petiolate, angular-lobed, pubescent 
beneath ; stipules sometimes ovate-lanceolate, deciduous ; flowers 
pedunculate at apex of branches (Tropical America‘). See p. 105. 
81. Cavanillesia Ruiz & Pav.—Calyx subcampanulate, 5-fid val- 
vate. Petals 5, 2, 3 times longer than calyx, at base becoming 
glandulous within, contorted. Stamens ©; column connate with 
petals at base, above the base contracted, afterwards separating into a 

1 White or pink, sometimes with elongated 
column (in sect. Euquararibea) 2, 3 inches.
