Marcgravia (Georg Marcgraaf, born 1610, a very early writer on Brazilian natural history). Sometimes spelled Marcgraavia and Marcgrafia. Marcgraviaceae; by some authorities included in Ternstroemiaceae. Climbing epiphytic shrubs, one of which is offered abroad as a warmhouse plant: lvs. entire, short-stalked, coriaceous: fls. in terminal umbels or racemes, the corolla cap-like and falling as a single piece; sepals 6, 2 smaller; stamens mostly many (sometimes as few as 12): fr. globose to ovoid, more or less fleshy, with numerous seeds. Species probably 40, many of them recently described in Trop. Amer. M. umbellate, Linn., W. Indies and S. Amer., is a polymorphous plant, the sterile shoots creeping and rooting: lvs. on the rooting shoots distichous, nearly sessile, cordate and emarginate, on the other shoots oblong to linear: fls. greenish, umbellate: fr. with red pulp: clings to trees by roots.
