Sect. 2. Pentaria. — Calyx 5-partite : tube cyathiform : crown subS-seriate, exterior dis-

 bi-trilobed, or sinuate-subtruncate at the top, eglandular : lobes spreading, middle smaller 

 or reduced ; peduncles tripartite, geminate : pedicels equalling the petiole, obscurely jointed 

 near the top ; calyx exceeding the corolla : both greenish-white : exterior filaments of the
