cous one at the base of each pedicel. Calyx tubular, some- 
| what gibbous; mouth five-parted. Coro/ tubular, curved, 
: Tube somewhat ventricose, villous on the outside ; mouth ob- 
| lique, and divided into five, nearly equal, semicircular seg- 
ments, one above and two on each side. Filaments four, did y- 
namous, extend beyond the mouth of the tube. Anthers linear, 
apices united, Germ superior, linear, smooth ; base embraced 
by a nectarial ring, four-celled; ovu/a numerous, attached to 
the incurved margins of the partitions, Sty/e, the length of the 
germ, or more protruded beyond the anther. -Stigma entire,

long and very slender, being about twelve inches long, and 
scarcely so thick as a quill, smooth and brown, with a groove 
on the opposite sides, four-celled, two-valved. Valves thin, 
almost membranaceous. Seeds numerous, minute, imbricat-

the base one, they are attached to the rolled-in edges of the _ 
valves of the capsule, as in the germ. Perisperm none. Em- 
xy bryo cylindric, inverse. Cotyledons oblong, not half the 
length of the whole embryo. Radicle cylindric, superior ; 
| when vegetation begins, the structure of the parts becomes 
evident, the apex of the radicle first projects, from which in-
