Diagnosis.—Myrtal Exogens, with a plurilocular ovary, polypetalous or apetalous flowers,an imbricated calyx, 00 stamens, ohionr/ anthers, and tisuaUy dotted leaves. Trees or shrubs. Leaves opposite or alternate, entire, usually with transparent dotsand a vein running parallel with their margin. Inflorescence variable, usually Fig. CCCCXC. Flowers red, white, occasionally yellow, never blue. Calyx adherent, valvate, 4- or 5-cleft, sometimes falling off like a cap, in consequence of the cohesion of the equal in number to the segments of the calyx, with a quincuncial aestivation ;rarely none. Stamens either twice as many as the petals, or 00, rarely equal to themin number ; filaments either all distinct or connected in several parcels, curved inwardsbefore flowering ; anthers ovate, 2-celled, small, bursting lengthwise. Ovary inferior,1- 2- 4- 5- or 6-celled ; style simple, derived immediately from the placenta ; ovulesusually pendulous, or erect and anatropal; occasionally peltate and amphitropal,always inserted into a central or axile placenta.
