262 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 
or membranous-marginate (Walachodendron); albumen usually scanty; 
embryo straight, cotyledons ovate or elliptical; radicle inferior.— 
Shrubs; leaves alternate membranous, deciduous ; flowers’ axillary 
solitary, sessile or shortly pedunculate (Worth America, Japan’). See 
p. 238. 
5? Schima Reinw.’—Flowers nearly of Gordonia; outermost petal 
sometimes much concave or subcucullate. Germen 4, 5-locular ; 
style simple or wide patent stigmatiferous lobed at apex ; ovules in 
each cell 2-8, laterally affixed, descending. Capsule globose, usually 
depressed ligneous, loculicidal; columella persistent. Seeds flat sub- 
reniform, margin (except interior) wide marginate-winged ; albumen 
thin or 0; embryo rather fleshy ; cotyledons subfoliaceous, unequal, 
flat or corrugate at base ; radicle inferior incurved accumbent at base. 
—Trees; leaves alternate perennial; flowers pedunculate, axillary 
solitary, shortly racemose or subumbellate, few; peduncle 2-brac- 
teolate‘ (Zrop. America, Ind. Archipelago’). See p. 239. 
6. Pyrenaria B1..— Flowers of Schina (or Gordonia); sepals very 
unequal, gradually accrescent from bractlets to petals, much imbri- 
cated. Stamens o, all or exterior ones connate; anthers oblong, 
versatile. Germen 5-locular; styles 5, free or more or less long 
connate ; ovules in each cell 2, incompletely anatropous, ascending. 
Fruit drupaceous, indehiscent; putamen sometimes thin; seeds? 
oblong thick or unequally compressed ; testa hard; cotyledons of 
exalbuminous embryo corrugate-plicate or conduplicate ; radicle in- 
ferior inflexed.—Trees; leaves alternate, entire or serrate; flowers 
shortly pedunculate axillary, oftener nutant ; other characters of Gor- 
donia (Ind. Arch., Malaysia’).
