. A manual of Indian botany. Botany. COROLLIFLOR^ 253 weed of waste places; Holmskioldia sanguinea, a tree common in gardens in Calcutta, with beautiful scarlet flowers, conspicuous for their scarlet-coloured persis- tent gamosepalous ample bell-shaped truncate per- sistent calyx; belati-mehdi {Duranta Plumieri), an erect shrub, largely used as a hedge plant in gardens;. Figf, 219.—Gambhari f^Gmelina arhorea) Fig. 220.—Bina {Avicennia officinalis) Avicennia officinalis (bina) (fig. 220), a common tree in the Sunderban. The Order is closely allied to both AcanthacecB and Labiates. From the former it differs in having 4-celled ovary with i seed in each cell, or 2-celled ovary with 2 seeds in each cell; from the latter in terminal style and drupaceous or berry-like fruit. Nat. Order 24. Scrophulariacece.—Herbs or shrubs, rarely parasitic. Leaves opposite or alternate or both. Calyx, corolla, and stamens as in Acanthaceee and Labiates, only corolla is sometimes personate, often spurred. Ovary superior, 2-celled, with many seeds.
