Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Schima (said to be an Arabian name). Ternstroemiaceae. Evergreen trees or shrubs, suitable for the warm-house: peduncles 1-fld., solitary in the axils or above crowded in a short raceme: fls. showy; sepals 5, slightly unequal; petals 5, much larger, connate at base, strongly imbricate, the outermost concave or somewhat hooded; stamens numerous; ovary 5- (rarely 4-6-) celled: caps, ligneous, commonly depressed-globose.—About 9 species, Trop. Asia. Here belongs a neat little tea-like shrub about 2 ft. high, known to the trade as Gordonia javanica. Schima and Gordonia are closely related genera, distinguished by Bentham and Hooker as follows: Schima has inferior radicles, sepals scarcely unequal, ovules few in each locule and laterally affixed; Gordonia has superior radicles, sepals markedly unequal, ovules numerous in each locule and pendulous.
