 parts ovoid, flattish-convex ; seeds slightly tranaversly rugose. — Leaves 34"-3i", petiole 

 8"'-4"', cymes 1", coroUa-tube 1'", lobes l'"'long; flowers yellovrish; lomentnm 4-2(-6)- 

 jointed : parts 10"'-8"', narrow joints l"'-i"', seeds 6'" long.— Hab. Trinidad !, dr., on 

 the seacoast at Irais ; [Guiana, Brazil]. 



8. CAMEKABIA, L. 



Calyx 5-fid. Corolla salver-shaped : tube subcylindrical. Stamens inserted into the 

 slightly enlarged upper part of the corolla-tube : anthers subseasile : connective produced at 

 the summit into a long, setaceous appendage. Ovaries 3 : style filiform ; stigma indusiate, 

 2-partite into conical segments. Samarce with the wing terminal, elongated, abruptly dilated 

 at the base and lining the carpid. — Glabrous trees or shrubs ; leaves membranaceous, petioled; 

 cymes terminal, few-flowered : flowers white. 



18. C. latifolia, L. Leaves elliptical, pointleted: veins eostate, approximate, con- 

 nected by a continuous, juxtamarginal arch. — Jacg. Amer. Pict. i. 39. — ^A large tree; leaves 

 ] V, calyx 1'", coroUa-tube 4'", lobes about 4'", samara 2", its carpid 8'" long ; anthers ob- 

 long, as long as their appendage. — Hab. Jamaica (Jacq.) ; [Cuba I, Haiti]. 



19. C. angnstifolia, L. {exclus. st/n. Plum.). Leaves lanceolate or oblong-linear, 

 blunt, emarginate at the top, shortly petioled : veins delicate, in a lax network. — If Plnmier's 

 figure (Ed. Burm. t.lZ. f. 2, possibly no congener) refers to another narrow-leaved Cameraria, 

 this may be named C. retUsa.—k shrub 8' high {Mill) ; leaves 12"'-10"' long, 4"'-2"' broad ; 

 calyx 1'", corolla-tube 4'", lobes 2'" long ; anthers oval, somewhat shorter than their flexnose 

 appendage. — Hab. West Indies !, X««e ; Jamaica, (Jfj7?.). 



9. ANECHITES, Gr. 



Calyx 5-partite. Corolla salver-shaped : tube subcylindrical. Stamens inserted into the 

 middle of the corolla-tube : anthers oblong : connective produced at the summit into a short, 

 setaceous appendage. Disk cupuliform, shortly 5-lobed, including the two ovaries: stigma 

 indusiate with a large ring, pubescent, 2-partite into oblong, blunt segments. Follicles sub- 

 cj'lindrical, many-seeded ; seeds " with a terminal coma." — A scabrous vine ; leaves petioled, 

 opposite, but single at the origin of the cymes ; cymes racemiform, peduncled, opposite to 

 the leaves : pedicels geminate .- flowers white. 



This plant, presenting the habit and &uit of Echites, from which it is distinguished by the 

 anthers poUiniferons to their base, may be regarded as a link between Echitets and such 

 genera as Neriandra or Cameraria : to the latter it approaches by the structure of the an- 

 tiiers, the stigma, and the sinistrorsely contorted coroUa-lobes. 



20. A. asperu^tiis, Gfr. — Echites, Sw. ! — Hispidulous ; leaves 3"-2" long, ovate-ob- 

 long, cuspidate, arch-veined, membranaceous ; racemes l"-4" long, lax ; calyx eglandular, 

 14"', corolla-tube 3'", lobes 3"' long ; anthers included, thrice as long as the filaments and 

 the terminal muoro ; follicles hispid, linear. — Hab. Jamaica I, Sm., Wils., in dry pastures 

 near Bath ; [Cuba I, Haiti]. 



10. VINCA, L. 



Calyx 5-partite. Corolla salver-shaped, callous at the pubescent, nai'row throat. Stamens 

 inserted into the upper part of the corolla-tube. Ovaries 2, slightly cohering, alternating 

 with 2 disk-glands : stigma indusiate. Pollicles compressed-cylindrical, many-seeded. — 

 Suffruticose herbs ; flowers axillary. 



/ 21. V. rosea, L. Erect, puberulons ; leaves spathulate-oblong ; flowers geminate, sub- 

 sessile, rosy {or white) ; calyx-segments lanceolate-acuminate, much shorter than the fili- 



, form corolla-tube ; disk-glands oblong, exceeding the ovaries. — Flowering in the first year ; 



'' coroUa-tube 1" long, somewhat longer than the lobes. — Hab. Jamaica I, M'Nab, a weed ; 

 S. Kitts !, Els., Antigua !, Wullschl. ; [Cuba ! and Mexico ! to Brazil I ; trop. Africa ! and 

 Asia I to China 1] 



11. PLUMIEEIA, L.
