2, short, connate under one small hairy stigma, ultimately divergent; ovules 
many in each cell, placentas peltate. Capsule obovoid, laterally compressed, 
truncate or 2-horned ; carpels dehiscing by separating from each side of the

Annual, 6-18 in., erect. Leaves 2 by $ in., narrowed at both ends; petiole} in. 
Cymes 2-6 in., often numerous; bracts i in., lanceolate. Flowers subsessile, scarcely 
iq in. Capsules } in. unilateral on the branches. Seeds twice as long as broad. 
e American M. petiolata united with this by A. DC. is exceedingly like it, but has 
globose seeds. 
.2. M. pedicellata, Benth. in Journ. Linn. Soc. i. 91; leaves oblong

nearly as of M. oidenlandioides, obscurely unilateral, fruiting pedicels sometimes 4-3 
ìn., but not longer than sometimes in M. oldenlandioides. Capsules fẹ in., succulent, 
little compressed.—The specimens on which the genus Parophiorrhiza were founded, 
were mislaid when tho Rubiaces were described for this work.
