Text-book of structural and physiological botany . Fig. soA — Cyalhwt Aparine; I. part of plant (natural size); II. flower and fruit (magnified) ; III. longitudinal section through fruit (greatly magnified). genera so similar to the true leaves as to give the appearance of a spu-rious whorl. The stamens are equal in number to the corolla-lobes andalternate with them ; the ovary bilocular, the seeds solitary or rarelytwo in each loculus, or multilocular and the seeds several in each division. special Morphology and Classification, 393 The fruit is a drupe, berry, capsule, or achene, or is sometimes dehiscent;the endosperm large and horny, as in the coffee-berry, or fleshy. [Theorder is a very large one, and is divided into a large number of Fig, 505.—Peruvian Bark, Cinchona condaminea (reduced). The suborders StellaicE^ Cinchonece^ and Coffeeceoi^ovciO, authors are distin-guished by the first having the leaves in apparent whorls from the inter- 3Q4 Structural and Physiological Botany, petiolar stipules ; the second has opposite leaves and a multilocularovary with numerous seeds ; the third opposite leaves and a biloculartwo-seeded ovary. The European species all belong to the Stellatce,and are herbaceous. Among the more important genera of the orderare the following :—Uncaria^ Nauclea^ Cinchona^ Cascmilla^ Conda-ininea^ Mussceitda^ Gardenia^ Ixora^ Coffea^ Cephaelis^ Spermacoce^Ritbia, Galiujji, Asperula.\ It includes plants of very great medi-cinal and economical value. Peruvian bark and quinine are obtainedfrom various species of Cinchona, all natives of central and westernSouth America ; the best kind is the product of C. Calisaya of Bolivia ;others of C. glandulifei^a of Peru, C. condamiiiea of northern Peru ands
