 -ovulate in internal angle; style short hollow, apex stigmatiferous 
pulpous, subentire or unequally crenate. Fruit oblong-fusiform 
dry inermis, 4—10-lobular, 4-10-sulcate ; cells with difficulty septicidal 
# -spermous, and transversely septate between seeds. Seeds finally 
sub-l-seriate, unequally-compressed ; testa crustaceous; albumen 
fleshy ; embryo axile ; cotyledons orbicular-cordate.—Shrubs ;. leaves 
of Grewia, denticulate 3-plinerved, stipules minute subulate very 
caducous; flowers’ in pedunculate, subaxillary lateral or terminal 
cymes (Zrop. Africa’). See p. 172. 
12. Apeiba AvusBL.’—Flowers 5- or more rarely 4-merous ; recep- 
tacle conical. Sepals valvate and petals same in number, alternate, 
imbricate or subvalvate. Stamens ©, free, w-seriate; exterior 
often sterile, dilated in petaloid lamina; interior fertile ; anthers 
introrse ; cells linear, longitudinally rimose; connective sometimes 
produced beyond cells. Germen &-locular; cells‘ æ-ovulate ; style 
tubular or long obconical, interior hollow, apex stigmatiferous o- 
denticulate, or more rarely straight cut. Fruit depressed-globose, 
coriaceous or subligneous, tuberculate or echinate, indehiscent or 
dehiscing with difficulty. Seeds , nidulant in pulp, suborbiculate 
or compressed ; albumen fleshy; embryo straight ; cotyledons orbicu- 
late-subcordate.—Trees or small trees ; leaves alternate, large, 3-5- 
nerved; flowers’ in cymes 2- or 3-chotomous; peduncle terminal, 
lateral or subleaf-opposed ; bracts often stipuliform deciduous (7rop. 
America’). See p. 172.

base. Stamens o, inserted on non-elevated torus, coalescing in 4 
phalanges, opposite sepals; phalanges connected at base by a mem-
