802 Flora of the Malayan Peninsula. 



We are a little in doubt whether this is the G. Beccariana, Briquet in Engl. & 

 Prantl Nat. Pflanzenfam. IV. 3 and 165, of which we can find no description. We 

 think, however, that Briquet's G. Beccariana is Beccari 2759, a beautiful species from 

 Sarawak with long tawny hair. 



5. Callicaepa, Linn. 



Trees or shrubs, more or less clothed with stellate or farinose 

 tomentum, with or without glandular scales, rarely quite glabrous. 

 Leaves opposite, rarely ternately whorled ; crenulate serrulate or rarely 

 entire, in one species lobed. Floiuers small, white red or purple, in 

 axillary sessile or pedunculate, usually many-flowered, cymes ; bracts 

 linear, inconspicuous. Calyx very small, shortly campanulate, truncate 

 or minutely 4:-lobed, unaltered in fruit. Corolla small, campanulate or 

 tubular ; tube twice as long as the calyx or less ; lobes 4, oblong, erect 

 or spreading. Stamens 4 equal, inserted at about the middle of the 

 tube or lower, sometimes at the base ; filaments slender, exsert ; 

 anthers ovate or oblong, dorsifixed ; the cells parallel, both sides usually 

 prominently glandular. Ovary imperfectly 2-celled ; cells 2-ovuled ; 

 style elongate ; stigma dilated, shortly and obscurely bifid ; ovules 

 attached at the middle of the cell or higher. Fruit a small globose 

 drupe, supported by the persistent calyx ; exocarp thin ; mesocarp 

 fleshy ; endocarp bony, of 4 or fewer pyrenes, convex on the back, 

 flattened on the sides. Seeds small, oblong ; testa membranous ; albu-
