according to Mr. Brown, the great peculiarity of which consists 
in the petals not covering the stamina at any period. This mode 
of æstivation of the petals, he says, has never before been no- 
ticed, though it equally exists in Cratæ va and Resedàceæ ; to 
this mode he proposes to apply the term aperta.
