 tate, extrorse. Ovary 6-8-celled: ovules ascending. Berry few-l-sceded by abortion.

 " corolla-segments as long as the exterior appendages ; interior appendages 2-dentate at the

 island specimen. SI. t. 228. /. 3 : the foliage. — M. bidentata, A. DO. : from this the de- 

 scription of the corolla is taken. M. Balata, Crueg. I — A large tree ; leaves 2"-6" long ;
