disk, and in most cases by the large anthers, which generally 
acquire a peculiar greenish hue in drying. Maieta has the 
bladders of Tococa, with the habit of the sessile-flowered — 
Clidemie; Calycogonium is distinguished by the angular calyx, — 
but is unknown to me.  Jucunda differs from all Miconiee by 
the fruit, which, though fleshy and enclosed in the calyx, is 
entirely free from it even from the time of flowering. Diplo- 
chita has the habit of Jucunda, but the fruit is perfectly ad- 
herent as in Miconia, from which it is discriminated by the 
calyx and inflorescence described below. Blakea, with bi- : 
porose anthers, differs from Cremanium in habit, in the bracteas, —— 
polymerous flowers, connivent anthers, &c. dp
