Genus a Candollio aliisque imprimis ad fructus indolem in sectiones i dividitur, a Krokio 
Sequenti modo emendatas : 
Sect. 1l. Brachysiphon. Corollz tubus brevis. Bractez margine integre, rarius partim serrulatze 
ciliatz eciliatzve. 
Series 1. Psilocelz. Fructus uniformes, pericarpio non spongioso; loculi vacui filiformes, fertili 
multo minores, sejuneti v. rarissime basi tantum contigui, costis fructus similes. 
Series 2. Platycsle. Fructus uniformes, pericarpio non spongioso ; loculi vacui longitudinaliter 
v. introrsum tantum contigui, fertili majores subszquales v. raro minores, nunquam filiformes. 
Dvrnzsu1a, DC. Mem. Valer. 8,1. 3 et Prod, iv. 624, nequaquam generice m— est a V. triplari, 
Buhse, affinibusque inter Platycalas. 
Series 3. Locusie. Fructus uniformes, pericarpio pustioe spongioso ; loculi vacui contigui fertili 
oppositi ; calycis limbus obliteratus. 
Series 4. Cornigere. Fructus biformes, pericarpio hic illic spongioso, cymarum curvuli 3-locu- 
lares, dichotomiarum lineares recti abortu 1-loculares persistentes ; calycis limbus 3-cornis. f 
Sect. 2.  Siphonella, Torr. et Gr. Corolle tubus elongatus. Bractes margine glanduloso-serru- 
latzm. Fructus uniformes; loculi vacui introrsum contigui fertili majores; calycis limbus obliteratus. 
Species 2, "étniidsitrisne, Valerianellam cum | Plectrite avete connectentes. In V. longiflora 
corolle tubus filiformis longissimusque zequalis videtur, in V. Nuttallii tubus minus elongatus et 
potes minimus paullo infra medium tubi situs, cum caleare Plecéritis comparetur. .
