Gertner, by detecting the mistake of Linneeus, who 
had attributed а 4-seeded berry to Ixora, instead of one 
with only two seeds, has removed the supposed main dis- 
tinction between that genus and Paverra; but has not- 
withstanding kept the genera apart on other grounds, 
In the former he describes the cells of the fruit as lined 
by a particular membrane that parts them from the seed; 
the albumen as fleshy; and the rudiment of the future plant
