108 LXXT. EUBIACE^. (J. D. Hooker.) [BracJiytome^ 



aboTe ; petiole very stout, J-1 in. ; stipules some triangular-lanceolate acuminate,, 

 others complicate broadly oblong, subacute. Peduncles 1-3, ^-|- in. Cah/x small, 

 truncate. Corolla Tvliite tinged with rose ; tube 1 in. ; lobes J in. Berry about f in.

44. BXlACKYTOiaE, -Hbo/f./. 



A glabrous shrub or small tres ; branches slender, terete. Leaves petioled, 

 membranous, caiidate-aouminate ; stipules triangular, acuminate, persistent. 

 Flowers polygamo-dioecious, white, small, in slender panicles. Cymes from the 

 axil of an undeveloped leaf (hence leaf-opposed) ; bracts minute. Calyx-tvhe 

 oblong; limb cupular, 5-toothed, persistent. Corolla long or funnel-shaped; 

 tube (in fl. $ shorter) within and throat glabrous ; lobes 5, short, twisted in 

 bud. Stamens 5, inserted on the corolla-throat ; anthers subsessile, included, 

 linear-oblong, imperfect in fl. $ . Dish in 5 small, in ^ cupular. Ovary 3- 

 ceUed; style filiform (short in <?), stigmas 2, shortly oblong obtuse grooved; 

 ovules very numerous, superficial on peltate tumid placentas. Berries small, 

 ellipsoid, 2-celled, many-seeded. Seeds crowded, cuneate, compressed, testa 

 thin reticulate, albumen fleshy ; embryo small, sub-cylindric. — Perhaps better 

 united with Randia, but the habit and flowers are peculiar, and the seeds have 

 a reticulated testa.

Pale brown when dry. Leaves 6-9 by 1-2 in., oblong or obovate-laneeolate, almost 

 caudate-acuminate ; nerves slender ; petiole ^ in. Cymes short, irregularly branched, 

 -J-2 in. diam. , lax-flowered. Corolla ^ in. long. Berry Jin. long, crowned with the 

 calyx-limb. — Griffith's specimens are marked Darjeeling, but as no other collector has ' 

 found it in Sikkiin, I suspect some error.

A subscandent glabrous shrub ; branchlets soft compressed and inflorescence- 

 hairy. Leaves bifarious, obliquely auricled ; stipules interpetiolar, triangular,,

 tube, reflexed, twisted in bud. Stamens 5-6, subsessile on the corolla-mouth ; 

 anthers narrow, acute (recurved in the male), cells septate. Dish tubular. 

 Ovary 2-celled ; style stout, branches 2-lanceolate ribbed ; ovules many. Berries
