The greatest breadth of the leaves in this species is above the middle, 
and in this respect it differs from G. gelonoides. The point of the leaves 
is also shorter than in that species ; the flowers are less hairy, the cymes 
less crowded, and they are pedunculate and not sessile as in G . 
gelonoides. 
7. Chailletia deplexifolia, Turcz. in Bull. Mosc. 1863, pt. 1, 611, 
var. tomentosa. A climber, 10 to 30 feet long ; young branches densely 
and minutely olivaceous-tomentose. Leaves thinly coriaceous, elliptic- 
obovate, retuse ; upper surface minutely reticulate when dry, glabrous 
when adult except the minutely tomentose midrib and nerves ; lower 
surface softly and minutely pilose, the midrib tomentose as are the 5 to 
7 pairs of curved, spreading, maiu nerves; length 4'5 to 6'5 in., 
breadth 2’5 to 3’25 in., petiole *3 to "4 in. Gymes axillary, and often 
terminal, pedunculate, tomentose, dichotomous, spreading, often 3 in. 
in diam.; the peduncles 1 to 1'25 in. long, stout. Flowers ‘25 in. in 
diaru. Sepals oblong-lanceolate, deflexed, sericeous-tomentose outside, 
glabrous inside. Petals as long as the sepals, deeply divided into 2 
lanceolate segments. Stamens as long as the petals, the anthers shortly 
ovate. Ovary densely lanate-sericeous, depressed globular, the style 
slender, stigma small. Drapes compressed, rotund-reniform, sericeous,

Order XXIX. Olacineas. 
Trees or shrubs, rarely herbs, sometimes climbing. Leaves alter¬ 
nate, rarely opposite, simple or lobed, penni- or palmi-nerved, exstipu- 
late. Inflorescence cymose or racemose, rarely capitate, terminal, axil¬ 
lary or extra-axillary, sessile or more or less peduncled. Flowers 
regular, hermaphrodite, polygamo-dioecious or dioecious. Calyx usually 
small, 4—5-toothed, sometimes accrescent, free or adherent to the fruit, 
lobes valvate or imbricate. Petals 3-6, valvate or imbricate, free, or 
more or less coherent. Stamens 3-15, inserted with the petals, free or 
adnate to them and either opposite to or alternate with them, all fertile, 
or some (staminodes) anantherous, disunited or more or less monadel- 
phous. Anthers erect, 2-celled, dehiscing longitudinally. Pise hypo- 
gynous or perigynous, cup-shaped, often absent. Ovary free, or half in¬ 
ferior, 1-celled or imperfectly 2-3-5-celled (from the dissepiments not
