Mitriostigma (Greek, mitre-shaped stigma, from the conspicuous stigma, which is club- shaped, the 2-cut summit suggesting a cap). Rubiaceae. This genus includes the charming evergreen tender shrub known to the trade as Gardenia citriodora. It makes a low or medium- sized bush of compact and branching habit and bears a great profusion of fls. that resemble those of the orange in odor, size, color and general appearance. The fls. are white, salver-shaped, 5-lobed, tipped with pink in the bud, and borne in dense axillary clusters. This plant is a favorite in the S., together with the Cape jessamine, but is little known in northern conservatories. The genus contains 2 species in Afr., very like Gardenia and distinguished by technical characters as the 2-celled rather than 1- celled ovary.
