The Magonias (flg. 399-403) constitute a small distinct and anomalous group in this series, by their multiovulate ovary cells and winged seeds. They have very nearly the flowers of Erithro- physa and Cossignia^ with five unequal petals destitute of appen- dages, a large unilateral disk, lined and cut in a lobate ridge. The three ovary cells each contain in the internal angle two vertical series of ovules, and the voluminous, loculicidal fruit, opens in three large. Fig. iOl. Hermaplirodite flower (f)..
