MSS. 



Mr. Brown possesses many species of this genus, which 

 he divides into two sections; in one of which, the petals and 

 stamens are deciduous; in the other (Xeropetalum. Br.) 

 these parts are marcescent. It is to the latter section that 

 our present plant belongs. The three species recorded in 

 the Hortus Kewensis, all belong to the first ; and from this 

 division the above generic character seems to have been 

 more especially framed, the author having at first intended 

 to have made distinct genera of them, but has since thought 

 it more advisable to consider them only as sections of the 

 same genus.
