with the j)et. on the mouth of the calyx. Ovary 2-celled, crowned

ing of 2 carpels (mericarps) adhering by their face (commissure) 
to a common axis from which they ultimately separate and be- 
come ])endulous. Seed solitary pendulous. Albumen horny. — 
Inflorescence umbellate. — Each mericarp has 5 primary ridges and

are sometimes either wanting or only slightly apparent.
