Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Royena (named for Adrian van Royen, of Leyden; died 1779). Ebenaceae. Evergreen trees or shrubs suitable for the warmhouse.

Leaves alternate: infl. axillary; fls. small, hermaphrodite; calyx deeply 5- (rarely 4-) lobed, often accrescent in fr., lobes more or less pubescent or silky; corolla campanulate or urceolate, 5-cleft, lobes obtuse, re- flexed; stamens 10 in one rank; ovary conical, pubescent: fr. globose, ovoid or oblong, leathery, indehiscent or splitting.—About 20 species, natives of Trop. and S. Afr. The genus is distinguished from the 4 or 5 other genera of the ebony family by the fls. being hermaphrodite instead of dioecious and the stamens in a single series.

Royena lucida is one of the old-time Cape shrubs formerly cultivated under glass for ornament in England and lately offered in southern California. It has small white flowers about 1/2 inch across, with five more or less reflexed lobes.
