 exserted, introrsely 2-rimose. Germen 2-celled ; disk epigynous 

 various; style branches 2, short or elongate narrow stigmatose. 

 Ovules in cells 1, or 2, inserted at various height on the septum, 

 ascending, more or less completely anatropous ; micropyle extrorsely 

 inferior or finally lateral ; in 2-ovulate cells, a spurious septum more 

 or less prominent between each ovule ; cellules sometimes complete.

 ascending seed copious fleshy ; radicle of more or less elongate axile • 

 embryo inferior terete or dilated. — Small trees or shrubs, erect or 

 climbing, sometimes epiphytal ; leaves opposite ,or more rarely verti- 

 cillate, entire ; stipules interpetiolar or intrapetiolar, connate or free, 

 various in form; flowers in a spurious capitule (contracted cymes), 

 sometimes in each inflorescence oo , more rarely 3 (Tribrachya), or 2 

 (Dibrachya), very rarely few or solitary (Imantina) ; capitules axillary 

 or terminal, solitary, 2-nate or spuriously corymbose. {Trop. regions 

 of both worlds.) — See p. 291.

 free. Calyx short, sometimes entire or wide membranous. Corolla 

 elongate; lobes long-acute, thick, valvate. Germen 2-celled; cells 

 2-ovulate, sometimes spuriously septate between ovules. Ovules &g. 

 oi Morinda. Fruit free drupaceous, 2-4-pyrenous ; pyrenes 1, 2- 

 spermous. — Small trees or shrubs; leaves opposite or " the uppermost 

 rarely subaltemate ; " stipules interpetiolar; flowers in spurious 

 axillary capitules long-pedunculate, glomerate, few bracteolate.^
