tely to the stigma (not by the intervention of a par-ticular process, as in the Asclepiade^e). Germens 2, or 1and bilocular, in most manyseeded. Styles 2 or 1. Stigma1. Fruit follicular, capsular, drupaceous, or berried, doubleor single. Seeds generally furnished with an albumen. Em-bryo foliaceous. Plumule inconspicuous. Trees or shrubs^often milky. Leaves opposite, sometimes verticillate(whorled), seldom scattered, quite entire, genemlly fur-nished with either cilice or glands between tho petioles, //z-florescence subcorymbose. We learn from the same accurate observer of naturalaffinities, that this subdivision forms a truly natural group,with perhaps the exception of one m* two genera; butwhich if even these were excluded is hardly to be technicallydefined: though easily distinguished by the economy of theanthers and tlie stigma from the Asclkpiai>k^, which arebesides more uniform in the structure of the flower andfruit. The order is also allied to the Gentune^ and Ru-^ BIACEJC.
