TOURNEFORTIOPSIS gen. nov. 
Flowers Fa ata and perfect. Calyx-tube ovoid or oval, 
the limb tubular-campanulate, 5-lobed, persistent and sbuiewhat 
accrescent. orolla short-funnel-form, the tube straight, naked in 
cells elongated-tubular, the ovules solitary in the cells, suspended ; 
style equaling the corolla, thick, fleshy, sericeous, dilated at the base ; 
stigma capitate. Fruit drupaceous, the flesh very scanty, the stone 
thick and bony, oval, shallowly 4-8-sulcate or ribbed; apical per- 
forations not apparent, perhaps appearing after full maturity. 
Seeds eau linear, flattened, the embryo a the radicle 
ascending, much elongated, the cotyledons very sho 
shrub or tree with opposite petioled leaves, ae intrapetiolar 
acuminate stipules, and axillary, solitary peduncles, bearing gem- 
inate, secund spikes of sericeous or tomentose, rather small flowers. 
enus apparently near Gueftarda, which it much resembles, 
but differing in the persistent calyx, the valvate conspicuously ap- 
pendaged corolla-lobes and the dilated style. 
I am indebted to Dr. Pax for kindly confirming my classification 
and diagnosis of this difficult genus.
