of Gardenia such as G. Annce,^ of the Seychelles, the corolla, of which 

 is infundibuUform-campanulate, connect with these Amamlia,^ of 

 which the calyx and corolla are contorted and the lobes of the latter, 

 five or six in number, are rounded, with close and abundant hair at 

 the throat. Basanacantha ^ is an American Eandia, with complete or 

 incomplete ovarian cells, whose flowers are unisexual ; and Gasasia^ is 

 an Antillean Gardenia with two incomplete ovarian cells, whose 

 coriaceous leaves have very numerous and parallel obHque secondary 

 nervures, as in a great many Glusiacece. Byrsophyllum,^ a native of 

 India and Madagascar, has also unisexual 4-6-merous flowers, but 

 with a narrow elongate corolla united in terminal few-flowered and 

 corymbiform cymes. The narrow and elongate form of the coToUa 

 tube is found still more marked in Gardenia tuhiflora Rich., &c., of 

 which the genus Tocoyena * has been made and which inhabits Brazil 

 and Guyana. The flowers are in corymbiform cymes, terminal and 

 subsessile. In Randia longistyla,'' a species from western tropical 

 Africa, constituting the genus Mdcrosphyra,^ the flowers similarly 

 grouped, in contracted cymes, at the ends of the branches, have also 

 a narrow and very elongate corolla ; but the style itself assumes a 

 very elongate form bearing its enlarged didymous furrowed stigma- 

 tiferous extremity high above the contorted limb of the corolla. 



Unable to regard the following types as congeneric with Randia 

 and Gardenia, we shall retain them only as sections of the genus 

 Genipa : 



Anomanthodia,^ a Randia of the Indian Archipelago, whose small 

 5, 6-merous flowers are often in extra-axillary cymes, with a tubular 

 disk, the lobes of the corolla rather longer than the tube and exserted 

 stamens whose anther cells are more or less deeply partitioned and 

 divided into cellules. 



Brachytome,^° an Indian Randia whose cymes are lateral or
