§ 19. LepropENDRON. Inflorescence terminal ; flowers 3-nate or solitary, 
corolline, very rarely subcorolline. Bracts generally remote, small. Sepals 
small, very rarely equal to the corolla-tube. Corolla various in shape, glabrous, dry, 
14-3% lin. long, Anthers included, lateral, appendiculate or muticous. Leaves 
almost always 3-nate, occasionally also 4-nate, in one species opposite, in another 
sometimes so. A very artificial section, which has been separated from 
§ Orophanes chiefly by its usually 3-nate flowers and leaves. 
Exceptions: leaves, in E. virginalis, so far as known, always opposite ; in E. 
rupicola, sometimes 4-nate ; in H. campanulata, sometimes 4-nate, or opposite ; 
flowers in E. polycoma, subcorolline. sie, Sil
