. The natural history of plants. Botany. Fig. 260. Flower (J). Fig. 261. Long. sect, of flower. whilst in the true Ixoras this extremity is generally divided into two branches, ordinarily independent. The calycinal divisions are short or nil in Myonima which has two to four ovarian cells, the same number of stylary divisions and as many putamens in the drupe. These calycinal divisions most frequently fall early in Eutidea, whose style tapers towards the summit, but the albumen becomes ruminate. It IS equally so in certain species of Pavetta, from tropical eastern, continental and insular Africa, named Enterospermum, the leaves of which become black by desiccation, and which have, moreover, a variable number of ovules. When the true Ixora has only one in each cell, there is ordinarily in the internal angle of the latter a salient placenta, in which the ovule, incompletely anatropous, with inferior micropyle, is more or less imbedded. In Enterospermum, there are one, two, three or more of these placentary indentations containing an ovule. It same in Tarenna, in which the number of ovules may be still greater, and the albumen is continuous and not ruminate; they are from Oceania, tropical Asia and Africa. Among the latter are Ixoras whose ovule becomes slightly descending instead of ascending. The fact is much more frequent and more marked in.
