. The natural history of plants. Botany. Pig. 95. Plower (i). Fig. 97. Long. sect, of fruit (f). Fig. 96. Long. sect, of flower. From the Lotus plants the following genera are distinguished only by characters of very small value. Gironniera, Asiatic and Austra- lian trees, ally themselves with Celtis by their flowers with imbri- cate sepals and leaves with independent stipules. But the fruit, surmounted by a persistent style, with two branches not plumose, is accompanied at the base by the persistent calyx; and the flowers are dioecious instead of being polygamo-moncEcious. Trema, natives of nearly all warm regions of the globe, have the free stipules and polygamo-dioecious flowers of Celtis, with the persistent calyx at the base of the fruit like Gironniera; but the prefloration of the sepals is such that they are valvate-induplicate below and imbricate at the summit. Parasponia, inhabiting the same countries as Giron- niera, has the polygamo-moncecious flowers and imbricate calyx of Celtis and the drupaceous fruit with persistent calyx at its base of Trema. But the style-branches are plumose, and the two stipules of the same leaf are united in a single concave axillary blade, like those of the ArtocarpecB. Aphananthe, trees of the same, countries as Gironniera and Parasponia, haveihe calyx imbricate and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Baillon, Henri Ernest, 1827-1895; Hartog, Marcus Manuel, 1851-.
