towards the base of the tube, included. Filaments dilated, 
and villous at the base, clavate and hooked at the apex, 
the back and front of which are clothed with bright yellow 
glands. Anthers smooth, 2-celled, with equal, divaricating 
cells. Ovarium ovate, oblique at the base, glandular at 
the apex, 2-celled, with large fleshy placente, covered 
over with ovula. Style filiform, ascending. Stigma small, 
obscurely 2-lobed. 
J. L. 
Nore upon Amphodus ovatus, fol. 1101. 
Since the above article was published, we have been supplied by Mr. 
Anderson with a ripe pod, which will enable us to complete and, in some 
measure, correct our account of the genus Amphodus. 
Legumen lineati-oblongum, compressum, apterum, immiarginatum, poly- 
spermum, extús tomentosum, intüs isthmis membranäceis, é contextu laxo 
cellulari, epidermoidali simillimo, constructis, & suturá placentee oppositä 
ortum ducentibus. Semina oblonga, compressa (in icone erronea), viridi- 
fusca, immaculata, pedicellata. Hilum parvum, lineare, arillo albo, crasso 
citcumdatum. Testa coriacea, integumento interiore, s. endopleura, crasso, 
or 6 albo. Embryo cotyledonibus catnosis, oblongis, radiculá obtusä, 
exä. 
Pod linear-oblong, compressed, neither winged nor margined, many- 
seeded, on the outside tomentose, in the inside separated into many spurious 
cells, by means of processes formed of very thin, lax, cellular tissue, like that 
of the epidermis, which take their rise from points of the suture opposite to 
that which bears the seeds. Seeds oblong, compressed, greenish-brown, not 
spotted, on short stalks. Hilum small, linear, surrounded by a white, fleshy 
arillas. Testa coriaceous, its inner integument, or endopleura, being thick, 
white, and fleshy. - Embryo with oblong, fleshy cotyledons, and an obtuse, 
inflexed radicle, - 
From this it will appear that the distinctions between Amphodus and 
Dioclea are much greater than we even supposed them to be ; its affinity being 
in fact greater to Dolichos, notwithstanding the differences of its calyx, 
corolla; and style. LL
