§ 39. Metasremon (Lophandra, Don; Cornutarwm, Klotzsch). Inflorescence 
terminal, or by arrest of the lateral branchlets sometimes pseudo-axillary ; 
flowers mostly 3-nate, more rarely umbellate or subcapitate, mostly corolline, 
rarely calycine or subcalycine, 1-4 lin. long. Bracts usually mediocre or 
inconspicuous. Sepals mediocre, scarious or cartilaginous, coloured, mostly 
glabrous, rarely hirsute. Corolla mostly obconic or broad-cyathiform, wide- 
mouthed, rarely cyathiform and subequal at the mouth, glabrous, dry, from 
1-4 lin. long; segments of various length, Anthers mostly included, very 
rarely subexserted, lateral, usually more or less produced at the apex (i.e. mcre 
than in other sections) beyond the pore, acute or acuininate, usually roughly 
papillose or scaberulous, or coarsely shaggy, mostly muticous, very rarely aristu- 
late. Style exserted. Stigma generally small, Ovary glabrous, or more rarely 
minutely puberulous. Leaves mostly 3- more rarely 4-nate or scattered, 
glabrous, or in one species hispid. 
Exceptions: sepals in E. trachysantha densely hirsute ; corolla in EL. trachy- 
santha, cyathiform and subequal at the mouth; anthers sometimes subexserted in 
E. lavandulefolia ; anther-cells in E. mervata and in E. trachysantha are acute, 
but very little produced beyond the pore ; anthers are sometimes very minutely 
aristulate in B. cubica. 
Note: E. melanthera, a species with anthers produced beyond the pore, as in 
this section, will be found in § Gamochlamys (462).
