By the intervention of Kadua and Teinosolen, Bouvardia (fig. 315- 317), generally attributed to quite a different group, is closely allied to Oldenlandia. The flower is almost always tetramerous; the lobes of the calyx dentiform or elongate with tongues often Jioumrdia Jaauim. interposed; the corolla tubular, straight or curved, with valvate lobes, glabrous or hairy within ; anthers dorsifixed, enclosed or exserted; the two stigmatiferous branches of the style are papil- lose on their entire surface or at the margin and interior face. The ovary has two cells each enclosing an erect or ascending placenta attached to the partition by a narrow point and bearing an indefinite number of ascending ovules. The fruit is a loculicidal or septicidal capsule, that is finally divided into fourpannelsj and the seeds, peltate, com- pressed or bordered with a cellular wing, enclose a small albuminous embryo. They are herbs or shrubs of tropical or subtropical America, with opposite or verticillate leaves, connate stipules, and terminal corymbiform Kg. 315. i'lower (}). Fig. 316.
