442 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 



gamophyllous, entire, dentate or lobed. Corolla funnel-shaped, 

 hypocrateriform or subcampanulate ; tube glabrous within or variously 

 pilose ; lobes of limb 4-6 (often 5), closely contorted ; throat glabrous 

 or villose, sometimes very, densely barbate (Empogona, Eriostoma). 

 Stamens as many, inserted in throat or mouth of corolla ; filaments 

 short or subnil, rarely rather long ; anthers dorsifixed, 2-fid at base, 

 generally elongate,, versatile, exserted or semienclosed ; connective 

 sometimes produced in an oblong or subspathulate lamina beyond cells 

 (Kraussia, Empogona). Germen inferior (adnate to receptacle), 2- or 

 rarely 3-celled ; cells sometimes incomplete ; disk epigynous various, 

 oftener depressed, sometimes minute; style slender, rather thick or 

 rarely thick fusiform, longitudinally sulcate (Nargedia) ; branches very 

 rarely 3, or generally 2, more or less connate, recurved, often linear, 

 papillose or hispid, often glabrous in front (and there nigrescent) ; 

 one sometimes smaller or aborted, the other 2-dentate at apex (Zygoon). 

 Ovules in cells few, rarely 6-10 (Diplospora, Hyptianthera), or oftener 

 2-5, rarely 1 [Kraussiella,^ Nescidia), incompletely anatropous,^ ver- 

 tical or oblique, sometimes 2-seriate ; micropyle generally extrorse 

 and inferior; placenta thickened around nestling ovules or more 

 rarely not or slightly dilated (Zygoon, Nescidia, Feretia). Fruit baccate 

 (small) ; seeds 1 or few ; albumen copious fleshy ; radicle of various 

 embryo various, often inferior. — Erect or rarely climbing shrubs, 

 glabrous or variously clothed ; leaves opposite, oftener elliptical or 

 oblong ; petiole generally short ; stipules interpetiolar or intrapetiolar 

 (Feretia), oftener small acute, deciduous or persistent; flowers' axillary 

 solitary or oftener qo , cymose or glomerulate ; bracteoles 2, or 4-8,
