2-celled. Fruit capsular; seeds in eacb cell very numerous, densely 
packed, borizontal, not winged or with obscure wings, albuminous ; 
embryo minute. Trees or slirubs with simple or 2-partite or quite

Tribe 5. EojfUELETiE^. — Corolla-lobes equal, imbricate or twisted. 
Ovary 2-celled. Fruit capsular; seeds in ceils numci'ous, Im -izontal ; 
minute, not winged, albuminous ; embryo clavate or cylindric. Trees 
or shrubs. Stipules simple, very rarely 2-fid, quite entire. Examples : 
Mondeletia^ Wendlandia^ many handsome garden plants. 
Tribe 6. Hedyottdeje. — C orolla-lobes valvate. Ovary 2, very 
rarely 3 or 4-celled ; ovules in cells numerous, attached to an axil or 
basal placenta> Fruit dry, capsular, or iiideluscent j seeds in each cell 
many, or rarely few or only 1. Seeds small or minute, angular or 
subglobosc, rarely peltate, very rarely winged. Herbs, rarely shrubs, 
never trees. Leaves mostly opposite. Stipules quite entire, dentate 
or setose. Examples: DeMtella^ Penias^ Hedyotis. Amongst the plants 
of this tribe are many weeds ; others, however, produce showy flowers. 
Siihseries IL Fruit fleshy, bursting irregularly or dehiscing at the 
apex, or a drupe with 2 or many pyrenes, pyrenes polyspermous. 
Tribe 7. — Corolla-lobes valvate. Ovary 2 or many 
celled, and numerous ovules. Fruit iudehiscent, fle.shy, baccate or 
with 2 or many pyrenes, 2 or many celled, polyspermous. Seeds 
minute, globose or angular, very rarely compressed, testa often 
foveolate or reticulate, albumen cai^iose ; embryo minute, ovideus or 
clavate, cotyledons very rarely broad or fiat. Example : Mussoenda, 
One or more of this genus will be met with in our gardens. The 
genus will readily be detected by the large white or coloured leaf of 
the calyx. 
Tribes. IIamelteje. — Corolla-lobes imbricate or closely twisted. 
Ovary 2 or many celled, with numerous ovaiies in each cell. Fruit 
fleshy or coriaceous, iudehiscent, baccate or ol* 2 or many pyrenes, 
cells or pyrenes polyspermous. Seeds minute, globose or angular, 
testa often foveolate or reticulate, albumen cariiose; embryo minute, 
often clavate. Examples: Havielia, Hoffmannia {Iligqinsia) . Species 
of these genera are common garden plants. 
Tribe 9. Catesbaie.®. — C orolla-lobes valvate. Ovary 1 or 2- 
celled. Fruit fleshy or coriaceous. Seeds often agglutinated into a 
globose mass, compressed or turgid ; testa coriaceous or membranous. 
Plants of the AVest Indies and South America; probably no examples 
in Queensland. 
Tribe 10. GABDENlEiE. — Corolla-lobes contorted or imbricate. 
Ovary with 1 or many cells, the cells with many or few ovules. 
Fruit indehiscent, fleshy, baccate, 1 or mauy ceiled, cells with 1 or 
many seeds, endocarp sometimes bony or cretaceous. fSccds large or 
somewhat large, rarely small and angular, compressed or obtuse- 
angular ; testa membranous, coriaceous, or fibro-cartilaginous, very 
rarely bony ; albumen horny or fleshy ; embryo large or somewhat 
large, cotyledons very often ampli-foliaceous. Examples: Randla, 
Gardenia. The plants of the genera mentioned are amongst the most
