of the second or middle series in F. chrysostaclujs, oculata and 

 grandis^ and of the first or exterior series in F. callitrieha and 

 ovalifoUa, exist in the whole section Catocahjpta, and are correctly 

 figured by Schauer (t. 4. B. fig. 10) ; but these lobes are consi- 

 dered by him as an involucre {\), and described as originating from 

 the "margo exterior loborum," whereas in reality they distinctly 

 spring from the narrow sinus between the lobes, and are perfectly 

 f^ee from the latter : nor do they adhere to the base of the calyx, 

 except in F. insignis^ and even here but very slightly. The idea

but altogether untenable. According to the differences of the 

 calyx above mentioned, I woiild propose to divide the genus T'er- 

 ticordia into the following four sections : — 



I. EuvERTicoRDiA, nob. Calycis limbus 1-serialis. 



To this belong Schauer's whole Sect. I. Eiiverticordia and 

 III. Chri/so?na, and our F. nohilis and stelliiligera. 



II. VERTicoitnELLA, uob. Calycis limbus 2-serialis, serie media 

 deficiente, exterioris lobis reflexis integerrimis tubo semiad- 

 iiatis, &c. 



Of tliis section I know only F Drummondii. 



III. Catocaltpta, Schauer. Calycis limbus 2-serialis, serie 

 prima (lobis reflexis integris, &c.) deficiente, &c. 



To this belong all the species of Schauer'g second section, 



and our V, caUltricha and ovalifolia, 



IV. PEX^^rLiOERA, nob. Calycis limbus 3-serialis, &c. 



Of this we know only the three last species here described^ 

 F cTirysostachys^ oculata and grandis.
