Leaves more or less hairy. Flowers several or one in a 
cluster. Capsules normal, 4-seeded; and also (often 
mixed therewith in the same cluster) abnormal, ovoid, 
subpyramidal, 1-seeded capsules, with strongly toothed 
wings.—N.B. In J. Mollugo, J. shebelensis, J. hetero- 
carpa, var. B, and in J. leptocarpa no .abnormal 
capsules have been seen, and the plants may prove to 
belong to groups t or ttf. Further, the typical 
dimorphic-fruited J. Melampyrum was esteemed by 
Oliver to be possibly only a seasonal form of 
J. insularis, T. Anders. in group f.

TttFlowers scattered, many solitary, or axillary on short 
pedicels ; but clusters of 3-1 flowers frequently occur. 
{These form a badly-limited group, placed with 
Gendarussa by T. Anderson and Bentham. I do not 
see any particular affinity between J. Gendarussa and 
J. odora (the “type” of the present group), but I 
have no great improvement in the arrangement to pro- 
pose. |
