Information

Calyx-tube oblong, equalling the ovary, pubescent; limb 5-partite, persistent; lobes lanceolate-subulate equalling the tube. Corolla salver-shaped; tubes lender, elongated, funnel-shaped and pubescent above, glabrous inside; lobes 5, ovate, widely clawed at base, dextrorsely contorted in æstivation (as seen from inside). Stamens 5, inserted between the corolla-lobes; anthers linear, exserted, sessile, glabrous. Disk annular, fleshy. Ovary 1-celled; style robust, very long, glabrous, much exserted; stigma capitate, bifid, large; ovules numerous, inserted in many rows on the two parietal stipitate placentas. Berry pyriform-globose; seeds numerous, compressed, immersed in pulp. —A scandent shrub, with terete branches leafy at the extremities, hirsute opposite petiolate deciduous leaves, rather large glabrescent glumaceous stipules imbricating below the uppermost leaves, and long subsessile flowers clustered at the extremities of the branches.
