Holotome propriam generis distinctionem certissime meret, juxta 
notas jam Endliehero optime divulvatas (Gen. Plant. 4379) a 
Lindleyo admissas (Veg. Kingdom, ed. iii. 778) etsi a Bungeo 
rejectas (Lehm. Pl.Preiss.i. 292). Altera species, scil. H. leuco- 
cephala (Actinotus leucocephalus, Benth. in Hueg. Enum. p. 56, 
Bunge l. c., Hook. Icon. 847) Actinotum Helianthi simulat; altera 
autem hic promulgata Actinotum minorem non parum imitat. 
Distinetiones vero sectionales, vocibus Panteuphora et Hemisteira 
exprimendz, preprimis e diversitate vel zequalitate florum cujusvis 
capituli derivatz; inter ambas Holotomes species trahi queant. 
Hemiphues arcto nexu tum Holotomze tum Actinoto eoncatenatur, 
imprimis propter fructum simplicem saltemve normaliter mono- 
spermum. Sua przsentia petalorum ad illam, formatione loborum 
calycis ad hunc approprinquat, statura attamen ab utroque genere 
discrepat. SUM E
