again discovered, but we now find it necessary to publish 
some account of the plant. 
The fruit being unknown, we are unable to obtain even 
an approximation to its true station in the system. In some 
respects it resembles Cunoniacez, especially in its remarkable 
stipulation, and apocarpous many-seeded pistil, combined 
with opposite leaves; but it differs in having only five 
hypogynous stamens, three instead of two carpels, and a 
remarkably imbricated calyx. 
Eucryphia and Carpodontos among Hypericacez , are 
polyandrous and have no stipules, besides other points of 
discrepancy. ' 
Hugoniaceæ have alternate leaves, a'different habit, and 
a larger number of stamens. 
Anisadenia, which seems to be a shrubby Elatinaceous 
plant, has monadelphous stamens, and no hypogynous cup, 
&c. Its leaves are also alternate without stipules. 
In all probability Ochranthe forms a part of some 
unknown order, the station of which will be in the Calycose 
group of polypetalous Dicotyledons, either in the Cistal or 
Guttal alliance. (See Key to Structural, Physiological and 
Systematic Botany, p. 51.)
