M ? Strumpfia Jacq.'— Flowers hermaphrodite ; receptacle obo- 

 void. Calyx 5-fid; lobes rather acute; teeth ^ interposed as many or 

 0. Corolla shortly and broadly funnel-shaped ; lobes 5, deep, shghtly 

 imbricate. Stamens 5; filaments 1-adelphous/ connate in a tube 

 inserted at bottom of corolla, presently dilated ovoid and at apex 

 (of connectives) 5-crenate ; anthers* adnate within dilated tube, 

 introrse, 2-rimose. Germen inferior, 2-celled, crowned with small 

 epigynous disk; style slender simple, at base attenuate subcontorted, 

 longitudinally hirsute, at apex stigmatose truncate. Ovules in cells 

 soUtary erect ; micropyle extrorsely inferior. Fruit drupaceous, at 

 apex umbilicate ; putamen 1, 2-celled ; albumen of oblong seed fleshy; 

 radicle of axile embryo terete inferior; cotyledons rather broad.— A 

 3-chotomous branched shrublet ; branchlets closely articulated ; leaves' 

 3-nately verticillate linear rigid, revolute at margin ; stipules small 

 interpetiolar; flowers « in racemes terminal or axillary to the upper 

 leaves, bracteate and 2-bracteolate. {Mar. Antilles.'') 



y. URAGOGE^. 

 86. Uragoga L. — Flowers hermaphrodite or more rarely polyga- 

 mous,^ 5-merous or more rarely 4-6-merous, receptacle short concave 

 obconical, ovoid or obovoid, enclosing adnate germen. Calyx various, 

 short or large, entire, dentate or lobate, deciduous or more rarely 

 persistent and accrete; lobes often ciliate, rarely pinnatisect. Corolla 

 tubtilar, funnel-shaped, subcampanulate or subrotate ; tube short or 

 long, straight or more rarely curved; throat glabrous, pilose or 

 barbate ; lobes 4-6 or more rarely 7-8, valvate, often mcurved at apex, 

 sometimes subcucuUate or with a dorsal horn. Stamens same in 

 number, inserted at various height in throat or tube ; filaments short 

 or rather long; anthers enclosed or exserted; cells introrse, rarely 

 marginal, rimose ; connective sometimes thickened at back. Germen 

 inferior, 2-celled or more rarely 3-8-celled ; disk epigynous various,
