§ 3. PrevRocaLtts. Inflorescence axillary, rarely both axillary and terminal ; 
flowers mostly crowded below the ends of the branches, sometimes lax. Bracts 
mostly small, rarely somewhat large. Corolla usually tubular, from 6-12 lin. 
long, rarely shorter, glabrous or hairy, dry or viscid. Anthers usually included, 
rarely subexserted or exserted, lateral, rarely terminal, appendiculate or muticous. 
Leaves 6-nate, scattered or 4-nate. Stout shrubs, often of virgate habit, 1-3 ft.

Mr. Scott-Elliot (Ann, Bot. iv. 270) observes that “ probably the whole 
Pleurocallis section is ornithophilous.”
