Exostemma (name alludes to the exserted stamens). Rubiaceae. Evergreen trees and shrubs of W. Indies and other parts of Trop. Amer., by some united with Rustia. There are upwards of 20 species. They are little known as warmhouse subjects, and the name does not appear in the trade. It is probable that the general treatment given Cinchona and similar things will apply to them. Lvs. opposite: fls. white, various in size and arrangement; corolla salver-form, the lobes 5 and spreading and narrow; stamens 5, inserted in the bottom of the corolla-tube, long-exserted; disk annular: fr. an oblong, cylindrical or club-shaped 2-valved caps.
