Flowersusually corymbose, and often sweet-scented. Calyx superior, 4- 5-cleft, usually with 2. Fig. DVII or more bracts at its base. Corolla superior, monopetalous or polypetalous, rotate ortubular, regular or irregular. Stamens epipetalous, equal in number to the lobes of thecorolla, and alternate with them. Ovary -nith fiom 1 to 5 cells, one of which is often1-seeded, the others being many-seeded ; m the fornier the ovule is pendulous; style 1 ;stigmas 3, or 5. Fruit indehiscent, 1- or more-celled, either diy, fleshy, or succulent, croTied by the persistent lobes of the calyx. Seeds either sohtary and pendulous, ornumerous and attached to the axis ; testa often bony ; embryo very small, in fleshyalbumen ; radicle next the hilum. _ As lef^ by Jussieu this Order was a heterogeneous assemblage ; as altered and betterlimited it seems to be less objectionable.
