Chili, t. 8. Benth. Fl. Austral. ii. 446. Stipule certe adsunt in £E. cordifolia, etsi parve et valde 
caducz ; in specie l'asmaniea majores evadunt. 
34. muphronia, Mart. Nov. Gen. et Sp. i. 191. t. 73.—Calycis tubus brevis, urceolaris ; 
lobi 5, inzquales, ovato-lanceolati, demum revoluti. Petala non visa. Stamina 5, peri- 
gyna, filamentis 4 per paria arcte connatis, quinto libero, omnibus e basi late dilatata 
brevissime in annulum connatis, deorsum barbatis, sensim attenuatis, apice filiformibus ; 
antherz non visse. Ovarium 5-loculare; stylus filiformis, persistens, a basi ad medium 
barbatus, demum 3-partibilis; ovula in loeulis solitaria. Capsula basi cum calyce persis- 
tente aucta, cylindracea, sub-S3-gona, tomentosa, stylo terminata, 3-locularis, septicide 
8-valvis, 3-sperma, valvis navieularibus, endocarpii marginibus introflexis conniventibus,

mina pendula, oblonga, nucleo parvo basilari compresso, testa in alam membranaceam 
lanceolatam produeta; albuminis stratum tenue; cotyledones plans, oblongo-lanceolatz, 
erassiuscule ; radicula parva, brevis, supera.— Arbor?, habitu et foliis Moguilie v. Licanie, 
ramulis alternis griseo-puberulis. Folia alterna, breviter petiolata, elliptico-oblonga, acuta, 
integerrima, subtus tenuiter araneosa.  Siipule v. minutz et decidus, v. deficientes. 
' Flores non visi, Capsula 2 poll. long:e, in racemos terminales strictos erectos dispositae. 
Species 1, Brasili:e borealis ad Ega incola. JValp. Bep. v. 659. Genus ob folia et hirsutiam 
styli staminumque Chrysobalaneas referentia ; et ob stipularum defectum, staminum dispositionem, 
fruetum omnino synearpum et embryonem albuminosum valde anomalum ; olim nobis ignotum 
inter gditera Olacineis affünia (p. 317) reeensitum ; nuperius exemplaribus Martianis examinatis 
stamina vere perigyna invenimus, qua re inter Hokidlerem tribum Quillajeearum sine dubio planta 
hse singularis militatur. 
35. Canotita, Torr. Bot. WAipple Erped. 19.—Calyx 5-fidus, parvus, persistens, —Pe- 
tala . . . . Stamina b, hypogyna, filamentis gracilibus. Capsula pollicaris, teres, anguste 
oblonga, stylo subulato persistente terminata, 5-locularis, septieide 5-valvis, valvis apice 
2-fidis, epicarpio tenui carnoso, endocarpio ligneo. Semina in loculis solitaria, prope 
apicem anguli superioris suspensa, oblonga, compressa, testa coriaceo-chartacea inferne 
in alam latam subfaleatam producta; embryo in axi albuminis carnosi magnus, cotyle- 
donibus latis planis, radicula brevi tereti supera.—Frutex v. arbuscula glabra, ramosa, 
aphylla, ramis remotis alternis teretibus striatis crassiusculis in spinas elongatas pro- 
ductis, cicatricibus parvis remotis brunneis notatis. Pedicelli ad apices muulorum sub- 
racemosi, patentes, curvi, infra medium articulati. 
Species 1, Novo-Mexieana. Genus quoad affinitatem valde dubium.
