finally loculicidal, 2-valved. Seeds , inserted in internal angle of 
cells, setose, pilose or hairy at margin; embryo albuminous; coty- 
ledons flat.—Trees ; leaves entire or serrulate alternate, 3—5-nerved 
at base; stipules linear, caducous; flowers in racemes terminal or 
axillary to upper leaves cymiferous; cymes sometimes |-parous at apex; 
bracts caducous! (Java, Fiji Islands, Mexico, and Antilles’). See p. 175. 
26. Erinocarpus Nimm.‘—Flowers nearly of Grewia ;* germen 
3-locular. Ovules in each cell 2, descending; micropyle extrorse 
superior; cells dorsally somewhat produced in false dissepiments 
between ovules; style filiform; apex stigmatiferous. Fruit sub- 
ligneous, indehiscent (?), 3-quetrous ; faces cordate-ovate, muricate- 
echinate ; angles subwinged; cells 6, 1-spermous, or sterile 1-5. 
Seeds descending; testa coriaceous; albumen fleshy ; embryo thick ; 
radicle superior ; cotyledons flat, subovate, 3—5-nerved at base.—A 
tree; leaves alternate, palminerved, lobate-dentate ; flowers’ in 
simple or terminal ramified cymiferous racemes; cymes 1-parous ; 
bracts subcordate entire or unequal-fid (Peninsular India’). See p. 175. 
27. Triumfetta Prum.’—Flowers nearly of Æonckenya, sometimes 
polygamous; receptacle elongated between corolla and stamens, 
apex dilated into orbicular disk more or less conspicuously glandu- 
lar-4, 5-lobed. Sepals 4, 5, often mucronate or fornicate outwardly 
below apex, valvate. Petals 5, imbricated, base inwardly glan-
