*““CALOPHANOIDES.—Flowers axillary, sessile, clustered or 
solitary ; uppermost clusters hardly confluent into a 
spike. 
tBranches herbaceous, internodes long. Leaves more or 
less hairy. Flowers mostly 4 or 2 in each cluster 
under one floral leaf with minute (or no) bracts, 
though solitary flowers also occur. All the capsules 
seen in this group normal, 4-seeded, exceeding j in. 
long. [Species 30-34 of this group, together with 
37, may be treated as one (for which composite 
species T. Anderson devised the name J. neglecta) ; 
Oliver accepted this view, but kept 35, J. dys- 
choristeoides distinct. |
