B UP HO RBI A GE^. 189 VI. DICHAPETALUM SEEIES. Dichapetalum (Chailletia) toxicariwn. Dichapetalum'^ (figs. 221-225), long designated under tlie name of Chailletia, and of which, a distinct family has been made, because the flowers are often hermaphrodite, must be considered as the ^highest in organisation of the Eu- phorhiacece with biovulate oyary cells. They are sometimes polygamous. In those flowers which combine both sexes a receptacle is seen (frequently convex), bearing a double perianth, an isostemonous androceum and a superior gynseceum. The calyx is formed of five unequal sepals, free or united below, quinouncially im- bricated, larger and more mem- branous, as they are more iaterior in prsefloration, and the corolla, of five alternate petals, more or less deeply divided above into two spoon- or hood-shaped lobes, slightly imbri- cated or induplicate in the bud. The androceum is formed of five sta- mens, alternate with the petals, and with a like number of hypogynous glands, free or united, usually bifid. Each stamen is composed of an hypo- gynous filament and an anther, the two introrse cells of which, dehis- cing longitudinally, are applied on the internal surface of a thick, glandular, coloured connective. The gynseceum is composed of an ovary with two or three cells, surmounted by a style divided
