expanding to their base. In brevifolium two or three fila- 
ments a littlebent. In scaberrimum, zeylanicum, Brous- 
Sonett, and others, the filaments and tube much bent; the 
corolla, though expanding very wide for a few hours, in its 
general appearance more campanulate. In capense the fila- 
mentsonly a little bent, but the corolla expanding much lessand - 
funnel shaped. The cells of americanum have each only two 
ovula; of brevifolium one: those of cruentum two at most, and 
only two seeds are perfected in the whole capsule ; erubescens, 
the nearest kin to cruentum, ripens as many as ten seeds in a 
capsule ; capense from one to fifty or sixty ; canaliculatum 
usually one ; sometimes two, In separate cells, which in that 
case only are preserved by the equal pressure of the two seeds 
flattened by contact. These are therefore specific features, 
having no weight in determining the genus. WW. H.
