This curious sitecics is vt-ry doulitfully referred to tho gtiiius LophocoJea, from 

 whose typical sjn'tiL's it (litlers especially in the large, entire amp higii stria and 

 in the extremely short fertile hrancli with its involucral leaves rtuluceil tn a 

 8iiif,flo pair. Thv sharply eurvod line of insertion of the leaves (whieh is similar 

 to that found iu eertaiu I'UujiodiUw) also distinguishes it from most LophocoJea; 

 where the leaves are rarely deeply decurrentveutrally. It differs from 67(i/o/*eirj>/j.K8 

 in the position of the fertile branches and in tho winged perianths.
