Describe the plant here... {{Inc| Gynopogon (Greek, bearded stigma). Apocynaceae. Syn. Alyxia. Interesting tropical woody plants, worth cultivating under glass. The genus was established in 1776 by Foreter, based upon G. stellatus of Tahiti, and is now known to include at least 50 species distributed in the islands of the Pacific, Madagascar, Austral, and Trop. Asia. Evergreen trees or shrubs, erect or twining, nearly all of which have the agreeable fragrance of coumarm, with entire, short-petioled, glossy, myrtle-like lvs., usually in whorls of 3 or 4, or sometimes opposite: fls. usually fragrant, axillary or terminal, solitary or in umbellate or spicate cymes; calyx 5- or 4-cleft; corolla salver- shaped, its tube cylindrical, swollen above the middle, or slightly contracted at the throat, without scales, the 5 or 4 lobes sinistrose; anthers sub-sessile, as many as the lobes of the corolla and alternate with them, inserted on the tube; ovary of 2 distinct carpels united by a single style with a capitate, or oblong stigma often bearing hairs on its upper surface; ovules 4-6 in each carpel in 2 series: fr. generally a single ovoid or oblong drupe, usually moniliform, consisting of 2 or more 1-seeded joints placed end to end, sometimes both carpels maturing in the same fl., when the fr. becomes geminate, as in many other Apocynaceae; seeds ovoid or oblong, furrowed on the ventral side, remarkable for their ruminate endosperm with erect embryo, in which respect they differ from those of other Apocynaceae and agree with Annonaceae. Plants of this genus may be prop, by seeds or cuttings. They are worthy of cult, in the conservatory, on account of their dark green lustrous foliage and their fragrant jasmine-like fls. }} ==Cultivation==  ===Propagation===  ===Pests and diseases===  ==Species==  ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References==     ==External links== *{{wplink}} {{stub}} __NOTOC__
