spirally many times convolute. — Trees or small trees ; leaves 

 alternate penninerved entire stipulate ; flowers proceeding from 

 axillary buds ; male cymose few or ; female longer and thicker 

 pedicellate mixed with male few or solitary cymose.^ {South Asia 

 and trap. Oceania."^) 



116 ? Discocarpus Kl.^ — Flowers dioecious (nearly of Actephila); 

 receptacle slightly concave. Sepals 6, sub-perigynous,^' imbricated. 

 Stamens inserted round rudiment of gynseceum not produced ; 

 anthers introrse oblong, afterward exserted- Female calyx 5-phyllous. 

 Petals evolute, rudimentary or partly wanting. Extrastaminal disk, 

 staminodes gynseceum ovules and capsule of Actephila ; seeds mem- 

 braneous-arillate ; cotyledons of exalbuminous embryo foliaceous 

 plicate or sub-convolute. — Trees ; twigs spinescent at apex ; flowers 

 axillary ; male glomerulate ; female flowers cymose very shortly 

 pedicellate.^ [Trop. South America.^) 



117. Amanoa Adbl.^ — Flowers moncecious or more rarely 

 dioecious S-merows rarely 3-6-merous; receptacle more or 

 less sometimes little {Euamanoa^ Stenonia^ Pentabrachium '") 

 concave and cupular. Perianth inserted at margin of re- 

 ceptacle more or less high perigynous ; sepals much imbricated 

 or obliquely cut at margin sub-valvate {Euamanoa^ Pentabra- 

 chium)^ oftener all valvate [Bridelia^^ Lebidieropsis^^ Stenonia,
