Eather small and not numerous glands are placed on a level with the insertion of the petals and androceum. The ovary has five oppositipetalous multi- ovulate cells. The leaves of this plant are alternate and imparipui- nate. The flowers * are in scorpoid cymes at the summit of a common stem. Caramlola has the flower of Oxalis. In one of the two species known, Averrhoa Bilimbi,^ the ten â stamens are fertile and five only among them alternipetalous ia the true species of Caramlola.^ These are Asiatic trees, with pinnate leaves, and the fruit is a pentagonal berry. The fruit is also fleshy although small in the trees from tro- pical Asia of which the genus Connaropsis^ is made, and which when better known will doubtless be rejoined to the genus Fig. 68. Habit. 1 Several species have two sorts of flowers : those with no corolla or one hut little developed being late, slow, and producing fruit rather than those whose petals are well developed and which are sometimes quite sterile.
