freely in sandy loam, mixed with some lime rubbish; they re- 
quire but little water. Cuttings root freely if laid to dry a few 
days before planting. Leaves taken off close to the plants, and 
laid to dry a few days, and then planted, will take root and shoot 
out young plants at their base.

inserted in the bottom of the calyx, distinct or joined a little 
way at the base. Stamens 10-20, inserted along with the petals, 
and generally adhering a little to them, and joined together at 
the base. Style filiform, cleft at the apex into 3 spreading 
or close stigmas. Stigmas bearing papille inside. Capsule 
8-valved, 1-celled, many-seeded. Seeds wingless, kidney-shap- 
ed, scabrous, fixed to the central placenta.—Fleshy herbaceous, 
or suffrutescent plants. Leaves alternate, quite entire, exstipu- 
late. Flowers very fugaceous, expanding only in the heat of 
the sun, cymose or racemose. Cymes or racemes usually form- 
ing terminal panicles.

from habit and inflorescence agrees with the preceding, but dif- 
fers materially in having only 5 stamens, and a tuberous root. 
It is not a Claytdnia, in consequence of the stamens ale 
with the petals, not opposite them; nor a Calandrinia from thé
