418 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 



inserted at top of erect placenta at bottom of internal angle, more or 

 less completely anatropous ; micropyle extrorsely inferior. Fruit 

 capsular or coriaceous, dehiscing unequally, few-seeded; seeds 

 ascending ; albumen . . . ? — Shrubs or undershrubs, erect or ramose ; 

 leaves opposite nervose, sometimes linear ; stipules cuspidate or setose 

 more or less connate with petioles; flowers in terminal compound 

 corymbiform or more rarely capituliform cymes. {East. trop. Africa, 

 Madagascar.^) 



63. Jackia Wall.^ — Flowers nearly of Carphalea; receptacle 

 obconical ; calyx lobes 3-5, of which 3 are generally larger patent 

 excrescent foliaceous scarious venose ; the others much smaller 

 dentiform intermixed. Corolla tube slender ; throat pubescent ; lobes 

 of limb 5) induplicate-valvate. Stamens 5 ; anthers subsessile semi- 

 exserted. Germen 2-celled ; disk pilose ; lobes of very slender style 

 2 stigmatose, free or connate. Placenta suberect (of Carphalea), 

 .bearing 2 ovules at apex. Fruit coriaceous, crowned with accrete 

 calyx; seeds 1, 2, erect; albumen...? — A " lofty ramose " tree; 

 leaves (large) opposite oblong- or obovate-lanceolate nervose ; petioles 

 short ; stipules interpetiolar large sheathing pilose-setose ; flowers in 

 long-pedunculate pendulous oppositely branched racemes, subsessile ; 

 branches richly cymiferous ; cymes secund, 1 -parous above ; bracts 

 subfoliaceous sub-2-stichous, sometimes connate at base.' (Malaya, 

 Borneo.'^) 



64. Phyllomelia Geiseb.^ — ^Flowers hermaphrodite; receptacle 

 long obconical. Calyx wide membranous orbicular, scarcely concave 

 above, at margin entire or obtusely lobed, finally accrete above fruit 

 reticulate. Corolla subinfundibular ; tube short, somewhat dilated at 

 base ; limb 4-6-lobed, imbricate.* Stamens same in number, inserted 

 in tube ; filaments rather short ; anthers at apex broader obtuse, at 

 base 2-fid, finally exserted. Germen inferior, 2-celled ; disk depressed- 

 orbicular hispid ; style rather thick, divided above into 2 papillose-
