Geniostoma* mntAndria mok©gynj*. 317 



hairy, about an inch long. — Stipules perfectly distinct to the very base, 

 opposite between the peliols, and equalling- them in length, decidu- 

 ous, eaving a ci.iate vestige, lanceolate, erect, adpressed, tapering 

 from die broad base to a fine point, baity on both sides, especially 

 within near their insertion, where they are densely bearded with long 

 hairs, interspered with a number of brown, glandular, subulate, short 

 bodies, which continue in an adpressed series on the branch after the 

 stipules have fallen off.— Floicers small, white, on capillary pedicels, 

 disposed in small, fascicled and crowded, axillary, rounded, opposite, 

 »hort-p*-duncled, hairy umbels, scarcely half the length of the petiol. 

 Bract es very small, lanceolate. — Calyx urceolate, flattish, hairy with- 

 out, with five, broad, acute, triangular teeth. — Corolla infundibuliibrm, 

 shortjsmooth on the outside, valvate during aestivation ; tube obscurely 

 five-cornered, densely bearded within; limb spreading, divided into 

 five lanceolate, acute lacini&, equalling the tube in length; throat 

 wide, bearded with abundance of hairs rising fom the inside of the 

 tube. — Stamina five, smooth, erect, almost concealed among the haiis 

 oi the tube ; filaments short, inserted under the fissure3 which sepa- 

 rate the lacmiae ; anthers ovate, two-celled, inserted on their bark, a 

 little elevated above the throat — Ovary above, minute, crowued with 

 a soft Meshy, smooth, Hat disc; its internal structure 1 have not been 

 able to make out satisfactorily ; I conjecture however, that it is two- 

 celled, with two erect ovuia. Style short, columnar, perforating the 

 disc, and scarcely longer than it. Stigma fleshy, convex, sub-capitale, 

 two-lubed : the lobes slightly sulcate. 



Obs. 1 have on a former occasion, in describing my new genua 

 Gardnera (vol. i. p. 400. et seqv.) had an opportunity of adverting 

 to a iainiiy, intermediate between Rubiace<z and Apocynea, which has 

 been pointed out by Mr. Brown and which I suggest may be called 

 Garditerete. Geniostoma undoubtely forms another genus of that 

 tribe, as has already been ascertained by Mr. Brown, prodr. nov. 

 boll. i. 455, and Tuckey's embassy to Congo, append- p. 448. Ac- 

 cording to this great botanist it is the same as Jussieu's Anasser, but 

 different from Caju Cut ana or Anasser of Iiumphius, herb. amb.
