318 VIOLARIEE. 
Tripe II. 
A.sopinrz (R. Br. congo. p. 21.) Petals equal (f. 65. b.). 
Stamens usually connected at the base, or adnate, to an elevated 
urceolus which is situated between the petals and the stamens. 
12 Gonono RIA. Stamens free, approxi- 
mate. Lobes of the anthers ending in a bristle. 
Capsule 3-valved, few-seeded. Shrubs. 
13 Rino'rea. In every respect the same as the last genus, 
but the filaments are dilated from the base into an acuminated 
ligula, not unguiculate, rather connate at the base. 
14 Atso‘pEA. Sepals acute, imbricate. Filaments connate 
at the base into an urceolus which girds the ovary. Lobes of 
anthers usually drawn out at the apex into a bristle. 
bluntly trigonal, few-seeded. Large shrubs. 
15 CERANTHE RA. Sepals acute. Urceolus toothed, con- 
nected with the petals at the base, situated between the petals 
and the stamens. Filaments unguiculate at the base. Lobes of 
anthers ending in a bristle. Ovary ovate. Large shrubs. 
16 Penta’Lopa. Sepals erect. Petals approximate at the 
base, reflexed at the top. Urceolus 5-toothed, bearing the fila- 
ments between these teeth. Ovary pilose. Capsule 5-lobed, 1- 
celled, 5-seeded. A large shrub. 
17 SratuLa' RIA. Calyx 5-parted (f. 66. c.), unequal, deci- 
duous. Petals rather unequal (f. 66. b.,) inserted in the base of 
the calyx, with long spatulate claws, which are connivent. An- 
thers drawn out at the apex into a membranous point (f.66. a.). 
Capsule many-seeded (f. 66. d.). 
18 HyMEeNANTHE RA. 
flexed. 
Sepals imbricate. 
Ovary villous. 
Capsule 
An erect shrub. 
Sepals imbricate. Petals at length re- 
Structure of stamens as in Fola, but they are joined at 
the base into a monadelphous disk, with a scale at the back of 
each. Capsule rather baccate, 2-celled ; cells 1-seeded. Large, 
branched, erect shrubs. 
19 Pira Rea. Sepals 5, equal, permanent, at length reflexed. 
Filaments 10-15, awl-shaped, all joined together at the base, 
closely girding the ovary. Capsule ovate, triquetrous, 1- 
3-celled, opening laterally from the top, densely clothed on the 
inside with brown velvetty down, bearing the seeds in the middle 
of the valves, one in each. Large shrubs. 
Tribe I. 
VIO'LE (plants agreeing with Viola in having irregular 
flowers.) D. C. prod. 1. p. 288. Petals unequal (f. 64. d.). The 
three outer sepals usually broader than the two inner ones (f. 
64. a.).  Pericarps 3-valved, dehiscent, with a placenta in the 
middle of each valve (f. 62. g.). Stamens alternating with the 
petals; filaments dilated, drawn out beyond the anthers, free, 
(approximate or coarctate) or rarely joined. Cells of anthers 
at length 2-valved. 
I. CALY’PTRION (xaduzrpa, calyptra, a hood or cover, 
and toy, ion, a violet; in allusion to the hood-like spur at the 
base of the lower petal.) Ging. mss. D.C. prod. 1. p. 288. 
Corynéstylis, Mart. fl. bras. 1. p. 25. 
Lin. syst. Pentándria, Monogiynia. Calyx small, running 
into the pedicel at the base. Sepals 5, almost equal (f. 62. a.), 
the 2 lower ones somewhat unequal-sided. Petals 5, the lower 
one large, drawn out behind into a large hollow pouch, which is 
compressed on the sides, and constricted in the middle, twisted,

many-nerved ; limb involute in estivation, but spreading in the 
more advanced state, usually waved, erose or lobed. The 2, 
lateral petals hardly shorter than the lowest one (f. 62. d.), 
spreading ; the rest small, and very short (f. 62. e, e.), and bent 
upwards, all generally villous. Stamens 5, 4 of which are con- 
nate; filaments dilated from the base, oblong; bearing the 
anthers low down; anthers twice the length of the ovary (f. 
62. c.), with parallel lobes ; the 4? anterior ones are drawn out on 
the outside into short bearded recurved appendages ; these append- 
ages are drawn in within the pouch. Capsule ligneous, 1-celled, 
3-valved (f. 62. g.). Seeds numerous, large, rather square, com- 
pressed, wrinkled, fixed to the valves. Climbing shrubs, with 
alternate leaves and deciduous stipulas. Flowers large, white, 
disposed in axillary racemes. Pedicels with a bractea at the 
base of each, and bibracteolate in the middle. 
Obs. Under Viola Hybdnthus, Willd, there are four speci- 
mens very different from each other, joined, and probably belong- 
ing to three distinct genera. Compare Mayer, esseq. p. 123.
