cave, finally in tube adherent to fruit, coriaceous-fleshy, much 
accrescent. Sepals and petals much imbricated, and 2 stamens (of 
Ternstremia). Germen quite immersed in receptacle, 3-locular ; 
style 3-fid at apex; ovules in each cell 4-w ; seeds , hippocrepi- 
form-complicate ; embryo albuminous inflexed ; cotyledons semi- 
terete, shorter than radicle-—Trees (evergreen); habit and inflo- 
rescence (of Zernstremia) ; flowers' rather long, pedunculate ; other 
characters of Zernstremia (Malaysia, Martaban’). 
III. SAURAUJEZÆ. 
14. Saurauja W.— Flowers hermaphrodite or more rarely poly- 
gamous ; receptacle shortly convex. Sepals 5, unequal, often peta- 
loid, much imbricated. Petals 5, alternate, free or connate at base, 
much imbricated. Stamens o; filaments usually adherent to 
base of corolla, otherwise free; anthers basifixed, introrse, after- 
wards versatile ; cells dehiscent by pores at apex or by short clefts, 
sometimes finally elongated. Germen 3-5-locular; styles same in 
number, free at base or more or less high connate, stigmatiferous at 
apex, usually reflexed ; ovules o, anatropous, inserted outwardly on 
placenta, pendulous or laterally adfixed inwardly to internal angle of 
cell. Berry 3-5-locular, rarely subdry or subdehiscent; seeds o, 
small, immersed in pulp; albumen more or less copious ; embryo 
straight or curved, cotyledons short. — Trees or shrubs, often 
strigose-pilose or squamate ; leaves alternate, usually serrate; veins 
parallel crowded with divergent ribs, often articulate at base, 
exstipulate ; flowers axillary or lateral, in racemes simple, or ramified, 
cymiferous ; cymes sometimes 1-parous at apex ; bractlets small, re- 
mote from calyx (Zropical America, Asia, and Oceania). See p. 242. 

IV. BONNETIEX. 
15. Bonnetia Marr. & Zucc.— Flowers regular hermaphrodite ; 
receptacle convex. Sepals 5, unequal, imbricated. Petals same in
