well known indefatigable labours in natural history have long

Lin. syst. Pentdndria, Monogynia. Limb of calyx uni- 
lateral, trifid. Corolla funnel-shaped, with a filiform tube, and a 
campanulate 5-cleft border; segments lanceolate, valvate in 
zestivation. Anthers filiform, sessile in the throat of the corolla, 
semi-exserted. Style long, hairy in the middle ; stigma 2-lobed. 
Capsule? crowned by 3 large unilateral wings, 1-celled, and 
1-seeded ?— Tree tall. Leaves large, opposite, on short petioles, 
elliptic-obovate, cuspidate, clothed with rusty hairs beneath, as 
well as the branches, which are obscurely quadrangular. Stipulas 
combined, sheathing, fringed, interpetiolar. Panicles large, axil- 
lary, opposite, pendulous, on very long peduncles, hairy, and 
villous, with spreading opposite slender branches, each termi- 
nated by a corymb of crowded subdichotomous spikes. Pedun- 
cles slender, compressed, partial ones each supported by a pair 
of ample fringed connate bracteas, which sometimes grow out at 
the margins into opposite small floral leaves. Flowers white, 
inodorous, sessile, alternate, disposed in short unilateral spikes, 
and each flower is supported by an oval densely villous toothed 
permanent bractea, and these bractefs are somewhat imbricated 
on the back of the spikes.

tube, and a very short 5-toothed limb. Corolla funnel-shaped, 
with 5 small bluntish lobes. Anthers inclosed. Stigma bifid, 
usually exserted. Berries obovate, oblong, 2-celled, 2-seeded, 
crowned by the vestiges of the calyx.—Shrubs and herbs, natives 
of America. Leaves ovate, acute, petiolate. Stipulas twin on 
both sides, free or combined, and sometimes bidentate or bipar- 
tite. Heads of flowers terminal or axillary, sessile or peduncu- 
late, involucrated by 2-8 bracteas, which are disposed in a cru- 
ciately opposite manner; there are also bracteoles or palee 
among the flowers.—Perhaps the species with dry berries, and 
those with fleshy berries, ought to be separated into distinct 
genera. Perhaps E'vea is properly joined with this genus, not- 
withstanding its tetrandrous flowers. Probably Carapichea 
might be joined with this genus, but for its exserted stamens.

peduncles, leaves, and involucra hairy ; stipulas acuminated, 
villous ; heads of flowers on long peduncles; leaves of involu- 
crum broad, ovate-cordate, wide at theapex. R.S. Native of 
Guiana, Trinidad, and probably of Mexico (if C. eyanocarpa, 
Moe. et Sesse, fl. mex. icon. ined. be the same,) in open spaces 
of woods, and about way sides. Tapogomea tomentosa, Aubl.

axillary and terminal. Bracteas or involucrum scarlet, or of a ver- 
milion-colour, large, sometimes long-acuminated, and sometimes 
only cuspidate. Branches obscurely tetragonal. Berries striated, 
ex Aubl., but blue and smooth according to the fig. in fl. mex. 
There are therefore 2 species probably confused. In Trinidad 
we have seen this shrub growing in great abundance, and where 
it makes a very elegant appearance from its scarlet bracteas; 
the flowers, as far as we can remember, are brownish, and the 
berries bluish.
