mannia), sometimes constricted at mouth (Byrsophyllum) or perceptibly 

 attenuate (Sphinctanthus) ; throat glabrous or variously pilose ; lobes 

 of hmb 4-10, closely contorted. Stamens same in number, enclosed 

 or exserted, inserted in throat or tube of corolla ; cells introrse, rimose, 

 continuous or more or less locellate {Anomanthodia, Dictyandra), obtuse 

 or apiculate. Germen 2-celled ; cells incomplete (Gardenia), or 

 complete (Randia), more rarely 1, or more than 2 (Morelia), oo - 

 ovulate; disk epigynous various; style simple,. at apex stigmatose 

 variously dilated and 2-lobed, often fusiform or entire (Mitriostigma), 

 Fruit (large or small) fleshy, coriaceous (Heinsia), indehiscent or 

 breaking irregularly, sometimes with hard 2-5-valved endocarp. Seeds 

 various, either ovoid, or oftener unequally-angled, sometimes shori- 

 ■winged (Oenipella, Paragenipa) ; albumen fleshy or horny ; cotyledons 

 of axile embryo narrow or rather broad. — Trees or shrubs, sometimes 

 climbing ; leaves generally opposite petiolate entire coriaceous, oftener 

 glabrous, veins sometimes crowded oblique lineolate (Casasia) ; stipules 

 intrapetiolar or rarely interpetiolar, sometimes large, entire, obtuse 

 or acuminate or cuspidate ; flowers axillary or terminal, solitary or few 

 cymose, rarely numerous, often large or rather large, more rarely small 

 or (Paragenipa, Randiella) very small. (All trop. regions.) — See p. 305. 

 82. Amaioua Aubl.^ — Flowers of Genipa, dioecious or polygamous; 

 calyx truncate, dentate or with calycinal lobes exterior to tube. Lobes 

 of corolla 4-8, closely contorted, and as many stamens. Germen 

 2-8-celled ; cells complete or incomplete. Fruit baccate, sometimes 

 corticate, glabrous or hispid ; seeds oo , albuminous. Other characters 

 of Genipa. — Trees or shrubs, glabrous, sericeous or hispid; leaves 

 opposite or rarely 3-nate, sessile or petiolate; stipules interpetiolar; 

 flowers ^ terminal solitary or in more or less contracted corymbiform 

 or capituliform cymes.^ (Trop. America.^)
