together and more spreading than the rest ; reticulations many, obscure ; 

 petiole slender, -75 to 1-5 in. long, channelled above. Cymes as long as 

 or shorter than the petioles, axillary between the leaves, puberulous ; 

 peduncles slender, -5 to '75 in. long ; branches few, short, much 

 thickened, bracteate, bearing spirally racemose many-flowered umbels ; 

 pedicels capillary, -5 in. long ; buds conical ; flowers pale yellow. 

 Gahjx-\ohe^ oblong, '15 to -2 in. long, ciliate ; glands 5, very small. 

 Coro//a-tube -1 in. long, pubescent within; lobes -15 in. long, narrowly 

 oblong, obtuse, glabrous. Corona of thickened hispidly bearded broad 

 ridges inside the corolla-tube a little way below the sinuses of the lobes ; 

 no free scales at the sinuses. Staminal-column slender, -15 in. long ; appen- 

 dages ovate, membranous, erect ; pollen-masses oblong-clavate, attached 

 to the ovoid pollen- carriers by very short clavate caudicles. Style-ajjex 

 elongate, clavate, much exceeding the anther-column. Follicles solitary, 

 slender, straight or very slightly curved, 5 to 6 in. long, -d to "5 in. 

 broad, point acuminate ; pericarp smooth, ribbed. Seeds elliptic, flat, 

 •5 in. long, -3 in. broad, with a broad wing, base obtuse, apex slightly 

 produced and truncate, surmounted by a white silky coma 1'5 in. long ; 

 testa thin, dark brown; cotyledons elliptic, '15 in. long; radicle cylin- 

 dric, -075 in. long. Wall. Cat. 8190; Hook. f. Fl. Br. Ind. IV. 31;

 Twining shrubs or undershrubs. Leaves opposite. Floivers small, in 

 sessile or pedunculate or branching cymes, often umbelliform, in one of the 

 axils of a pair of leaves, often with thickened tuberculate bracteate rachises 

 (as in Hoy a). Calyx 5-partite, glandular or eglandular within. Corolla 

 urceolate subrotate or broadly campanulate ; the lobes narrowly over- 

 lapping to the right (valvate in G. Wrayi). Corowa-processes 5, adnate 

 to the staminal-column near the base, usually small and rounded, some- 

 times large, erect. Staminal-coluvm inserted at the base of the corolla, 

 short ; anther-appendages membranous, inflexed over the style-apex ; 

 pollen-masses solitary in each cell, erect, ovoid, waxy, attached by 

 slender curved caudicles to rather large ellipsoid pollen-carriers. Ovary 

 of 2 carpels ; style short ; style-apex conical or convex. Fruit of 2 

 (more usually 1) smooth, acuminate follicular mericarps. Seeds 

 comose. — Distrib. Species about 10; Asiatic, African, and Australian.
