each umbellule 4—6; perianth-tube short, lobes 6, oblong, villous, 
2—3 mm. long. Stamens in ¢@ flowers usually 9 (sometimes but 
less often up to 12), those of the outer rows 3 mm. long with sub- 
quadrate anthers and slender villous filaments, those of the inner 
rows shorter and with a pair of subsessile glands attached a little 
above the bases of the filaments; rudimentary ovary conical, with 
slender style and bifid stigma. Staminodes of 2 flowers usually 12 
(sometimes 9), those of the outer rows clavate with villous filaments 
1—2 mm. long, those of the inner rows shorter and with a pair of 
rather large glands a little above the base. Ovary ovoid, glabrous; 
style curved; stigma subcapitate, bifid. Frutt nearly globose, 15mm. 
in diam., seated on the enlarged, at first nearly closed, later hemis- 
pheric, at length obconical rugose perianth-tube about 6 mm. high, 
8—10 mm. in diam. at the crenulate mouth and bearing the remains 
of the lobes and staminodes ; pedicel short, slightly enlarged only ; 
pericarp smooth, somewhat shining and wrinkled when dry.
