The genus Faramea, of which the Brasilian species are 

 numerous, may generally be known when in flower by the 

 tenuity of the dissepiment (usually incomplete,) which sepa- 

 rates the two ovules. Amongst Gardner's plants, the num- 

 bers 187 from Rio Janeiro, 446 from the Organ Mountains, 

 1693 and 1695 from Ceara, all belong to Faramea.
