Erect herbs or imdershrubs ; stems terete or obtusely angled, vrith 2 lines 

 ■of pubescence. Leaves opposite; stipules connate vrith the petiole into an 

 entire or bristly sheath. Floioers dimorphous, pink or lilac, subsessile on the 

 elongating branches of terminal cymes, rarely spicate. Calyx-tube ovoid or 

 didymous; teeth 4, minute and subequal, or 1 or 2 elongate, persistent. Corolla- 

 tube long, throat villous ; lobes 4, valvate in bud with inflexed tips. Stamens 

 4, inserted within the throat ; anthers linear, exserted or included. Ovary 2- 

 ceUed; style filiform, stigma included or exserted 2-lobed; ovxdes 1 pendu- 

 lous in each cell. Fruit very small, of 2 semi-terete or dorsaUy compressed 

 indehiscent cocci. Seeds with a thickened funicle, testa membranous, albumen 

 fleshy; embryo axile, cotyledons thin, radicle superior. — Disieib. Species 8 

 or 9, Indian, Malayan and Australian. 



The synonymy of the Indian species is very confused, owing to the incomplcle 

 descriptions of the earlier authors. Some of the citations of De Candolle and Rox- 

 burgh may be open to question. Eoxburgh's descriptions do not accord with his 

 drawings.

 perforation ; mericarps closely united, rarely separating.
