In all the specimens with puberulous capsules, I find but two seeds 
in each cell; in those specimens which have glabrous capsules, 4—6 in 
each cell; and, what is singular, the two seeds in the former are equal 
in size to all the six in the latter, "The flowers are fetid, though not 
so much so as in the following species. The stalk of the placenta 
proceeds from the base of the fruit, immediately under the dissepiment, 
and this appears to be the case throughout the Ænotis section. The 
affinities of this plant are evidently with H. Rheedii ; but the corolla is 
not glabrous, nor are the leaves ever aeuminated at the base.

It is unaccountable to me that it has been given as a generic character 
of Hedyotis—* segments of corolla intbricated in wstivation ;"—in all 
the species I have examined, the wstivation is decidedly valvate: I 
speak more particularly of the Anotis section, to which this species also 
belongs. Flowers purple, very fetid.
