Suffrutices; ramis flexuosis procumbentibus v. volubilibus ; foliis integris 
v. serratis; inferioribus raro lobatis v. dissectis ; floribus in racemos com- 
positos cymiferos, nunc corymbiformes v. umbelliformes terminales, 
dispositis, rarius solitariis. (Australia.) — Vid. p. 364.

breviter stipitata tenuiter coriacea plano-compressa, late orbiculato-sub- 
2-loba, ad margines loculicida ; valvis 2, medio vix solutis, extus ad dis- 
sepimentum impressis; seminibus paucis reniformibus compressis. — 
Frutices rigidi; ramulis abortivis sæpius spinescentibus; folis parvis 
integris, sæpe fasciculatis: floribus in racemos terminales ramosos 
compositos cymiferos pyramidatos dispositis. (Australia extrat'op.) —

57. Sollya Linpi. — Flores 5-meri ; sepalis parvis. Petala obovata, 
a basi patentia. Stamina 5; filamentis anthera paulo brevioribus; 
antheris erectis in conum circa gynæceum conniventibus, introrsun 
2-rimosis. Germen sessile ; placentis 2, © -ovulatis, demum intus conti 
guis; stylo brevi. Bacca oblonga, indehiscens; seminibus globosis v. 
subovoideis in pulpa viscosa nidulantibus. — Suffrutices; ramis flexu0- 
sis v. volubilibus; foliis angustis, integris v. sinuatis ; floribus ad 
apices ramulorum solitariis, pedunculatis v. sæpius laxe racemos0”
