Gardening. 1252. A horizontal inuUiple layer. LEBIDIEROPSIS (Greek; resembling Lebidiera, a genus now inchnled in Cleistanthus). \Enphorbidcea:. This genus includes a small tree with very hard wood, and of unknown value, introduced from a. bntanical gar- den of northern India by Reasoner Bros., Oneco, Ela. Lebidieropsis was reduced by Bentham and Hooker to the rank of a sul)genus of Cleistanthus, but in the Elora of British India Hooker says that Lebidieropsis should probalily be restored, the se'?ds being globose, while in Cloistiintbus they are always oblong. The seeds also ditier in structure. Generic characters of Cleistan- thus are: trees or slirubs: lvs. alternate, 2-ranked, en- tire: Hs. small or minute, in axillary clusters and spikes, monoecious; calyx Scleft or 4-0-cIeft; petals as many, minute; stamens 5; filaments united in a column in the center of the disk: ovary 3-celled. orbicularis, Muell., Arg. Lvs. IV^—4 in. lonir, 1 ^2-3 in. wide, leathery, broadly obovate or elliptic, tip rounded or retuse, glaucous beneath, nerves 5-8 pairs: fls. silky, .3-0 in a cluster; yietals fleshy, narrow: seeds 2 lines thick, chestnut-brown, with scanty albumen.
