Ovary 2-celled (or 1-celled in the upper part); ovules man}- in each cell ; 

 style long or short ; stigma capitate or obscurely 2-lobed. B'ntit a 

 berry, usually globose, indehiscent, with a hardened pericarp. Seeds 

 many, or by abortion 1 to 2 only, immersed in pulp, variously com- 

 pressed, or if solitary globose ; the hilum ventral ; albumen usually 

 copious, generally horny ; embryo short, with flattened, foliaceous 

 cotyledons and short terete radicle. — Distrib. Tropical and subtropical 

 regions of both hemispheres ; species about 100. 



In describing the characteristic leaves of this genus, we have distinguished 

 between the prominent "ribs" and the less conspicuous "nerves." 



Corolla-tube shorter than the lobes ; berry usually small ; seeds 

 very few : — 



Corolla-tube scarcely any, at most -025 in. long, tawny-villous 



within ; leaves elliptic 



Corolla-tube about -05 to •! in. long : — 



Corolla-lobes about -lo to '2 in. ; stamens glabrous, inserted 

 at the top of the tube ; leaves ovate 



Corolla-lobes about -OTo in. ; stamens villous, inserted at the 

 middle of the tube ; leaves elliptic-ovate or -oblong 

 Corolla-tube equal to or nearly equal to the lobes ; berry small ; 

 seeds few : — 



Corolla-tube and lobes together less than -125 in. long ; leaves 

 chartaceous ; ovary rounded, glabrous : — 

 Corolla-tube and lobes glabrous on both sides ; stamens in- 

 serted a little above the base of the tube ; leaves glabrous, 

 brown when dry 



Corolla-tube and lobes sparsely villous without, tube 

 glabrous and lobes slightly villous within ; stamens inserted 

 at the throat of the tube ; leaves glabrous, yellowish-green 

 when dry 



Corolla-tube and lobes glabrous on both sides, but lobes 

 within with a dense tuft of bristles at the base ; stamens 

 inserted at about two-thirds of tube ; leaves softly 

 pubescent 

 Corolla-tube and lobes -125 to -25 in. long ; leaves more or 

 less coriaceous : — 



Stamens inserted at the top of the tube : — 



Ovary glabrous; corolla-lobes within furnished with a 

 dense tuft of bristles at the base ; leaves 3- to o-ribbed . . 

 Ovary villous ; corolla-lobes within villous-tufted ; leaves 

 5- to 7-ribbed 

 Stamens inserted at the middle of the tube : — 

 Lobes of corolla glabrous within behind a dense tuft of 

 bristles ; leaves usually 5-ribbed, more or less pubescent 

 Lobes of corolla villous within behind a dense tuft of
