Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Jacquinia (Nicholas Joseph de Jacquin, 1727- 1817, collector and painter of West Indian plants). Myrsinaceae; by some separated, with Clavija and Theophrasta, in Theophrastaceae. Tropical American trees and shrubs, seldom cultivated far South for ornament.

Leaves opposite or somewhat verticillate, rigid, margined, entire: fls. white, purple or orange, borne in racemes, umbels or singly; corolla 5-fid, wheel- to salver-shaped, crowned at the throat and between the lobes with 5 roundish appendages (staminodia); stamens 5, inserted far down in corolla-tube, the filaments subulate: berry leathery, few to several-seeded. In the allied genus Theophrasta the corolla is cylindrical, shortly 5-lobed, the appendages are fastened at the base of the corolla instead of the throat, and the berry is many-seeded.By the latest monographer (Mez, Engler's Pflanzenreich, hft. 15, 1903), 33 species are described, of the warm parts of Amer.
