Corolla glabrous within, the throat yellow, the 

 lobes white; posterior lobes distinct. No 

 hypogynous bristles. Outer sepal ovate, 

 scarcely exceeding the lanceolate innermost. 

 Capsule over one half as broad as long. Ped- 

 icels reflexing in fruit. Leaves cuneate at 

 base, spatulate-oblong, entire, with one evident 

 longitudinal nerve. Stem glabrous. Plant 

 inodorous. 5. Bramia. 



Pedicels not bracteolate. Leaves palmately veined. 

 Styles distinct near apex. Sepals four or five, 

 very obtuse, unequal in width. Corolla white. 

 Plants repent; the stems pubescent. 

 Corolla 7-8 mm. long, five-lobed (because the two 

 posterior and the three anterior lobes are all 

 developed and distinct). Stamens four. Sepals 

 five or four. Leaves entire. 



6. Macuillamia. 

 Corolla 2 mm. long, three-lobed (because the two 



posterior lobes have united, and the anterior 

 petal is lost leaving the anterior lip two-lobed). 

 Stamens three (only one of the antero -lateral 

 pair developed). Sepals four. Leaves repand. 



7. Hydrathelium. 

 Anther-sacs separated on short arms of the connective. 



Seeds longitudinally striate, the striae tuberculate. 

 Leaves cordate-clasping at base. Corolla blue. Pedi- 

 cels bibracteolate. Plants erect or repent; the stems pub- 

 escent. 8. Stemodia. 

 Corolla violet-blue or white, with two raised ridges (each 

 formed by the adherence of a filament) to the antero- 

 lateral sinuses and which project as knob-Uke pro- 

 cesses beyond those points (the free portion of the 

 filament appearing as a lateral outgrowth of the ad- 

 herent portion.) Posterior lobes of the corolla less 

 than two thirds the length of the anterior. Seeds with 

 with fine transverse lines. Pedicels never bracteolate. 

 Perfect stamens two. 



Corolla violet-blue, 6-11 mm. long, the posterior lobes 

 distinct distally. Postero-lateral stamens perfect, the 

 antero-lateral filaments without anthers. Style with 

 an enlarged white base. Sepals five. Capsule two- 

 celled, oval in outline, 2-5 mm. long. Plants erect or 

 ascending. 9. Ilysanthes. 



Corolla pale-lavender or white, 1.5-2 mm. long, the 

 posterior lobes united throughout. Postero-lateral sta-
