16? Schuurmansia Bu.'—Flowers nearly of Sauvvagesia ; sepals 
5, equal or slightly unequal, preefloration much imbricated. Petals 
subequal, convolute. Staminodes 5, linear or subulate, subcon- 
formed to filaments of disk , exterior smaller and slighter. Fila- 
ments of fertile stamens 5, short, free, erect; anthers oblong-linear, 
dehiscing at apex of pores or subintrorsely or laterally by longitudinal 
clefts. Capsule nearly of Sevvagesia, septicidal 3-valved. Seeds a ; 
testa membranous, dilated in orbicular wings; embryo axile, albu- 
minous, cotyledons very short; radicle terete.—Glabrous trees or 
shrubs ; leaves alternate or approximate at summit of twigs, entire 
or serrulate ; stipules small; flowers in compound terminal racemes
