XXXV. HARRISO'NIA (named by Hooker, in compliment 
to Mrs. Harrison, of /Egburgh, near Liverpool, who was the 
first to introduce the plant from Brazil.) Hook. in bot. mag. 
vol. 53. t. 2699. 
Lin. syst. Pentándria, Digynia. Corolla urceolate, 5-toothed ; 
with a naked throat. Stamineous corona 5-leaved ; leaflets 
simple at top, furnished with a fleshy scale or process inside. ? 
—An erect, glabrous shrub. Leaves opposite, decussate, be- 
tween fleshy and coriaceous, 2-3 inches long, elliptic-cordate, 
obtuse. Umbels pedunculate, terminal. Corollas fleshy, fine 
red; limb a little spreading. Hooker describes the pollen 
masses as erect; but we much doubt the correctness of this; 
but should it be so, it is a very remarkable genus among the 
tribe of Asclepiadeous plants, in which the pollen masses are 
erect, and the anthers terminated by a membrane.
