to be baccate, but in the figure the fruit is drawn capsular and 
many-seeded, it is therefore more likely to be a species of 
Wendlandia than Petésia.

LXVI. XANTHOPHY'TUM (from £ar60c, xanthos, yellow, 
and ġvrov, phyton, a plant ; so called from the first species being 
clothed with rufous villi) Blum. bijdr. p. 989. A. Rich. 
mem. soc. hist. nat. par. 5. p. 275. D.C. prod. 4. p. 413. 
Lin. syst. Tetra-Pentandria, Monogynia. Calyx with an 
ovate tube and a 4-5-cleft limb. Corolla funnel-shaped, with 
a short tube, a villous throat, and a 4-5-cleft limb. Stamens 
4-5, exserted ; filaments inserted in the throat, connivent. Style 
sub-clavate, perforating the disk of the ovarium ; stigma thick, 
2-lobed, in the throat. Drupe didymous, crowned by the 
calyx, divisible into 2 many-seeded parts or cells. Placentas pro- 
minent, fixed to the middle dissepiment on both sides. Seeds 
minute, angular, wingless.—This genus is nearly allied to Wend- 
landia, but differs in the fruit not being dehiscent. 
1 X. rruricuto sum (Reinw. in Blum. bijdr. p. 989.) suffru- 
ticose, clothed with rufous villi; leaves oblong-lanceolate ; 
stipulas bifid; peduncles axillary, trichotomous, many-fiowered. 
h.S. Native of the islands of Java and Nuse-Kambanga, on 
the mountains, among bushes. Branches, peduncles, calyxes, 
and lower surfaces of leaves clothed with adpressed rufous 
silky villi. Stipulas large, deciduous. 
Shrubby Xanthophytum. Shrub. 
2 X. srica'tum (Blum. in litt. ex D. C. prod. 4. p. 413.)

ends ; spikes axillary and terminal, nutant; flowers in heaps. 
h. S. Native of Java, especially on calcareous mountains.

Lin. syst. Tetrdndria, Monogynia. Calyx with a turbinate 
tube, and a 4-parted limb ; lobes large, oval-oblong, rather spa- 
tulate, scarious, permanent. Corolla with a long filiform tube, 
a ventricose throat, which is hairy inside, and a 4-parted limb; 
lobes oblong, acute. Anthers almost sessile, inclosed, oblong. 
Stigma 1 (ex Juss.), but slender and bifid according to La- 
marck’s figure. Capsule crowned by the calyx, 2-celled, de- 
hiscing at the cells: valves semi-septiferous. Seeds many in 
each cell.—A dry stiff shrub, with the habit of Serissa, and 
leaves like those of hyssop. Leaves sessile, linear, acute. 
Stipulas unknown. Flowers terminal (ex Lam.) ; capitate (ex 
Juss.); corymbose.—It is doubtful which place this genus 
should occupy in the order, both the seeds and stipulas being 
unknown.

limb; segments ovate. Anthers 5, sessile, inclosed. Stigma 
bifid, acute. Capsule almost globose, crowned by the calyx,
