tomous, terete ; leaves petiolate, ovate-lanceolate ; stipulas se- 
tosely toothed ; peduncles axillary, bearing few-flowered umbels;

novy. spec. p. 93. but the Oldenlandia dichétoma of Spreng, now 
called Vahlia dichétoma, is a very distinct plant. Corolla blue. 
Anthers inclosed, and therefore it ought to be excluded from the 
present genus, but it is said to be nearly allied to O. biflora and 
O. herbacea.
