antherae dorsifixse, versatilcs, loculis contiguis parallelis longitudinaliter dehiscentibus. 

 Ovarii rudimentum angustum. Fl. $ : Sepala 5-6, demum basi contracta. Disci glandular 

 sepalis alternse. Ovarium 3- rarius 4-lociilare ; styli basi longiuscule connati, supeme 

 liberi, lineares, 2-partiti, ramis indivisis ; oviila in loculis solitaria. Capsula tridjma, in 

 coccos 2-valve3 dissiliens, endocarpio crustaceo. Semina albuminosa, cotyledonibus latis 

 planis. — Frutex indumento stellato ssepius albido. Folia alternaj longe petiolata, ampla, 

 dentata, basi 3~5-nervia, subpeltata, supra glaberrima. Racemi axillares, petiolo scepiua 

 breviores. Flores ^ ad apicem parvi, in capitulum subglobosum conferti, bracteis parvis 

 angustis, $ ad basin capituli solitarii, maribus multo majores, dense tomentosi. Bractese 

 in pedunculo sub inflorescentia foliaceae, parvulee. 



Species nobis nota 1, Javanica. Mmll. Arg. i7i DC. Prod. xv. ii. 761, sub Cephalocrotom. Species 

 altera, a Blumeo dubie ad Adisca^n relata, ex descriptionibns longe aliena est, versimiliter rite a 

 Zollingero in Linnaea xxviii. 322 ad Crotonem relata. 



Genus a Cephcdocrctone nobis longe differre vidotur habitu, inflorescentia axillari, etaminum 

 nuTuero, stylorum ramis longis indivisis aliisque notis. Filamenta in hoc et in Cephalocrotoiie a 

 Baillono rite descripta et delineata, a Muellero ' supra insertionem antherarum genuflexo-producta,* 

 dicuntur quod non intelligimus, nam antheras semper ad apicem filamenti inflexi versatiles vidimus.
