bracts 1-3-floral, often glandulose ; pedicels articulate, ■2-bracteolate. 

 {Antilles, warm South America}) 



11. Lophanthera A. Juss.^ — Calyx lO-glandulose. Petals un- 

 guiculate. Stamens 10 ; filaments free connate at base, glabrous or 

 hirsute ; antbers glabrous ; cells cristato-alate. Germen 3-locular ; 

 branches of style free acute. Cocci of capsule 3, each continuous at 

 base with a hollow swollen stipes, tardily dehiscent; seeds sub- 

 globose ; testa membranous or crustaceous ; cotyledons of inflexed 

 embryo complanate. Other characters of Spachea. — Trees ; leaves 

 opposite entire papyraceous ; petiole glabrous or 2 -glandulose ; 

 stipules axillary connate in pairs ; flowers ^ in compound cymiferous 

 racemes ; pedicels 1-3-floral ; bract lateral ; bracteoles oftener glan- 

 duliferous or glanduliform. {Guiana, North Brasil.*) 



12. Verrucularia A. Juss.^ — Flowers nearly of Lophanthera; 

 sepals 5, thickly 2-glandulose externally at base. Petals unguiculate, 

 imbricate; limbs unequal. Stamens 10; filaments dilately 1- 

 adelphous at base ; anthers introrse ; cells each bearing at the margin 

 a little below the apex a verruculose glandule. Germen and styles 

 of Lophanthera. Cocci of capsule 3, dehiscent; seeds subglobose; 

 cotyledons of embryo bent round the fold of crustaceous testa oblong. 

 — An erect shrub ; leaves opposite entire coriaceous glabrous glau- 

 cescent ; stipules by pairs in 2 axillary 2-partite laminse, confluent 

 with sheath at base, connate ; flowers® in terminal cymiferous racemes ; 

 pedicels articulate, at base 1, 2-bracteolate. (BraziV) 



13. Malpighia L.^ — Flowers jiearly of Galphimia; calyx 

 5-10-glandulose. Petals unguiculate glabrous ; limb denti-
