4-parted, densely villous inside. Stamens 4, shorter than the 
corolla; filaments short; anthers linear. Stigma bifid. Berries

—A glabrous somewhat dichotomous shrub. Leaves petiolate, 
ovate, acuminated, smooth, coriaceous. Stipulas short, inter-

sessile, not exserted. Stigma bifid. Fruit baccate? 2-celled ;

solitary on both sides, triangular, acute. Flowers on the top of 
dilated peduncles, or sessile on the tops of the branches, inter-

filaments adnate to the tube, but free above the middle; anthers

Cult. The species of Burchéllia thrive well either in the warm 
part of a green-house, or the cold parts of a stove, and there- 
fore may be termed hardy stove plants. Their heads, of beauti- 
ful scarlet and orange coloured flowers, make them desirable for 
collections. They grow well in a rich light soil, or a mixture 
of turfy loam, turfy peat, and sand; and cuttings taken off not 
too ripe strike root readily, if planted in sand and placed under 
a hand-glass, in a moderate heat.
