of the order Urticacex and tribe Celtidese. it is 
characterized by lateral free stipules, polygamous flowers, 
and narrow cotyledons. There are about 30 species, per- 
haps to be reduced to 20, widely dispersed through trop- 
ical and subtropical regions, often described under the 
names Sponia and Celtis. They are trees or tall shrubs, 
bearing alternate serrate leaves three-nerved at the base 
and usually two-ranked. The flowers are borne in cymes 
nearly sessile in the axils, followed by small drupes often 
with the perianth and the involute style-branches persis- 
tent. T. inicrantha, known in Jamaica as nettle-tree, is a 
rough-leaved shrub or small tree, widely diffused from 
Cuba to Brazil. Three species occur in Australia, and are 
known as hoop-ash; of these T. orientate, a tree about 40 
feet high with evergreen leaves silvery beneath, extends 
also to Ceylon, and is known as charcoal-tree in India, where 
it springs up profusely in deserted grounds.

rocks of this region, in regard to whose nomenclature there 
has been so much dispute, that the line between Cambrian 
and Silurian is drawn in England by those English geolo- 
gists who desire to use the former name. See Silurian.

male (taken for ' anther').] A genus of plants, 
type of the order Tremandrese, distinguished by 
its jointed anthers and opposite leaves. The 2 
species are natives of southwestern Australia. They are 
shrubs, more or less downy with stellate hairs, and bear 
ovate dentate leaves and axillary purple flowers. The T. 
verticillata of greenhouse cultivation, now separated as 
Platytheca yaliaides, on account of its whorled leaves and 
biseriate unjointed anthers, is known as jmrple heath- 
flower, 
Tremandreae itre-mau'dre-e), n. pi. [NL. (R. 
Brown, 1814), < Tremandra + -ex.] An order 
of polypetalous plants, of the series Thalami- 
Jloree and cohort I'olygulinse. it is characterized by 
regular flowers with three, four, or flve sepals, as many 
petals, and twice as many free stamens. It includes 17 
species, belonging to the three genera Tremandra (the 
type), Platytheca, and Tetratheca, the last including all 
but three of the species in the order. They are all natives 
of Australia south of the tropics, and are small heath-like 
shrubs with alternate, opposite, or whorled leaves, and 
solitary axillary flowers, usually red or purple, often with 
purple anthers. 
TremarctOS (tre-miirk'tos), n. [NL.,< Gr. rtf/ia,

the second family of parenchymatous entozoa, 
containing the flukes proper, the hectocotyls 
of cephalopods, and the planarian larvae of 
turbellarians. See cuts under Cercaria, Bu- 
cephalus, and water-vascular. 2. An extensive 
order of parasitic and chiefly entoparasitic 
worms, which may be found inside the bodies 
of almost any animal, and sometimes on the 
gills or skin of fishes ; the flukes or fluke-worms.

2. A modern kind of fancy work made by cut-

supported on a trellis.

They mostly have a flattened and more or less chitinized 
body, and a pair or more of suckers for adhering to the 
tissues of the host. Most trematoids are hermaphrodite 
or monoecious, but some are dioecious, and all undergo a 
series of transformations comparable to those of tapes. 
The well-known liver-fluke of m&n,Diitmna hepaticum, is 
a characteristic example. (See cercaria, Distama, fluke?, 
hi/datitl, redia, and sporocyst.) When the order is raised 
to the rank of a class, as is done by some, the monogeneous 
and digeneous suborders become subclasses, and the cur- 
rent families are regarded as orders, as Trintoma and Poly- 
Ktoma of the former division, and of the latter Slonostoma, 
Dixtmna, Qasterostoma. and Holostoma. Also Trematoi- 
dea, Trematodea, and Trematoida.
