164 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 
column, afterwards free, thickened at apex; anthers terminal, sub- 
transverse 1-locular, rimose. Germen superior, 2—4-locular, included 
in cavity of column; apex of style minute 2—4-dentate. Ovules 
in each cell 2, collaterally ascending. Fruit...?—A large tree ; leaves 
alternate, entire coriaceous, nitid, oblique penninerved, base sub-3- 
nerved ; flower axillary 1-3-nate; pedicels rather short, apex under 
calyx minute 2—3-bracteolate' (Zrop. America’). 
84. Durio L.*—Flowers large hermaphrodite ; calyx usually sub- 
campanulate, 5-fid, outwardly densely lepidote. Petals 3-5, ungui- 
culate contorted, or more rarely imbricate. Stamens æ; upper part 
of column divided into c filaments, 4—6-adelphous ; anthers «, anfrac- 
tuous adnate to summit of each capitate filament, unequally rimose. 
Germen 5-locular ; ovules «, 2-serrate ; style elongated, apex stig- 
matiferous capitate. Fruit (very large) globose, subligneous, some- 
times densely conical-muricate, indehiscent, or with difficulty 
unequally 5-parted, inwardly pulpous ; seeds immersed in pulp 
(arillate ?) ; embryo fleshy ; cotyledons thick, often conferruminate.— 
Trees; leaves entire coriaceous, lepidote beneath, parallel thinly penni- 
nerved ; flowers in lateral cymes ; involucre round each flower sacci- 
form valvate lepidote (simulating exterior calyx), finally irregularly 
torn! (Ind. Arch. Malaya’). See p. 105. 
85. Cullenia Wicar.’—Calyx tubular, 5-dentate. Corolla 0. 
Stamens ~ ; column elongated above, 5-fid ; anthers small subglobose, 
glomerate close to branches of androceum. Germen 5-locular ; ovules 
in each cell 2, ascending; micropyle introrse inferior ; style elongated, 
apex capitate stigmatiferous. Fruit globose densely muricate, finally

us; described as: flowers encircled by involucre

Fampeæ (BENTH.), somewhat recalling Quar-
