Information

Calyx small; tube campanulate, 4-bracteolate at base; limb campanulate, deeply 4–5-lobed; lobes rounded, ciliolate. Corolla salver-shaped; tube rather slender, gradually and slightly dilated upwards, appressedly pubescent; throat glabrous; limb spreading, 5-partite; segments oblong, nearly as long as the tube, dextrorsely contorted in æstivation (as seen from the inside). Stamens 5, inserted on the corolla-tube, included; anthers sessile, linear, apiculate, glabrous, fixed by the back near the middle. Disk fleshy, cushion-shaped. Ovary 2-celled; style included, glabrous, deeply branched; branches 2, papillose, somewhat diverging, subulate; ovules solitary, pendulous, anatropous. Fruit globose, coriaceous, 2-celled, dissepiment thin. Seeds solitary, pendulous; hilum minute, ventral, towards the apex; testa firm; albumen horny; embryo minute, curved, inverted towards the apex of the seed; cotyledons small, cordate; radicle terete, next the hilum. —A glabrous tree with opposite leaves, long subulate taper-pointed deciduous stipules, and fasciculate sessile flowers.
