ably agrees in habit, it differs essentially in its tubular not 
campanulate, very irregular, perianth, and in the absence 
of the honey-pores which form so remarkable a part of the 
character of Massonia. With the fruit we are unacquainted. 
Fig. 1. represents a flower of the ray with the larger lip ; 
fig. 2. is one of the flowers of the disk, in which both lips 
are very small and imperfect; fig. 3. is a vertical section of 
the ovary, with the empty upper portion of the cells; fig. 4. 
is a transverse section of the ovary, shewing how closely itis 
invested by the tube of the perianth ; this takes place to such 
a degree as to give the ovary the appearance of being 
inferior.
