NATUBAL HISTORY OF PLANTS, 



shaped or hypocrateriform ; tube more or less elongate or very long, 

 straight or curved; throat glabrous or pilose; limb various; lobes 

 3-10, imbricate and marginally more or . less attenuate or crispate, 

 valvate or subvalvate (Timonius,^ Chomelia,^ Malanea^). Stamens 

 same in number as petals ; * filaments rather long, short or ; anthers 

 dorsifixed introrse, oftener elongate. Germen 2-qo -celled ; ' lobes 

 of style 2-00 , more or less free, pointed or thickened/ Ovules ia 

 cells solitary descending elongate cylindrical ; raphe dorsal/ Fruit 

 drupaceous; putamens 2-qo , or 1, qc -celled; cells irregular or some- 

 time^ radiately 2-qo -seriate. Seed descending cylindrical ; albumen 

 membranous or 0; embryo axile fleshy conformed to seed oftener 

 cylindrical ; radicle terete superior. — Small trees or shrubs, glabrous 

 or oftener pilose ; leaves opposite or rarely verticillate, sessile or 

 petiolate ; stipules various, generally intrapetiolar, deciduous or 

 caducous ; flowers ^ rarely solitary or few, oftener crowded cymose ; 

 cymes sometimes spuriously capitate, often 1-parous, secund, bracteate 

 or ebracteate, sometimes (HodgMnsonia) spuriously umbellate by 

 superposition. (All trop. regions.^)

■• In females often fewer, or sterile, without 

 or with effete anthers. 



» Cells often fewer in male flower than in 

 female or effete. 



* Often in male flower elongate-subulate, gla- 

 brous or slightly tomentose, sometimes very long 

 flexuose, as in Hodgkimonia (F. Muell. Friujm. 



ii. 132;— Benth. Fl. Austral, iii. 420;— B. H. 

 Gen. 106, n. 214) which appears to us only a sect, 

 of Guettarda. Lobes of suburceolate corolla 

 valvate or slightly imbricate. Germen cells 4, 

 1-ovulate. Ovule, as in the true Gtiettardax, 

 inserted under top of cell, cylindrical, conoid 

 below ; raphe dorsal ; micropyle introrsely su- 

 perior; hilum on both sides thickened to a 

 rudimentary aril. 



' Hilum often thickened and in seed arillose. 



' White, small or moderate.
