PlONANDRA. 



Joum 



and m the first volume of this work, p. 34. pi. 8 & 9, were first 

 drawn up during my stay in the Organ Mountains in 1837, but 

 not pubhshed till 1845, and while these were in type, Dr. Sendtner 

 contributed to the Munich flora his genus Cyphomandra, iden- 

 tical with the above, so that by a month's priority in publication, 

 the latter name has claimed the preference. I there divided 

 Pionandra into two very distinct sections. 1. Ceratostemon, 

 which corresponds with Dr. Sendtner's genus, and is distin- 

 guished (as both names imply) by their fleshy and curved sta- 

 mens, and more or less obconical style and stigma, which are 

 often as short and thick as the ovarium itself. 2. Euthystemon, 

 comprising those species noted for having the anthers much 

 longer, thinner, and very straight; the style being slender, 

 terete, with a much smaller clavate stigma : the analytical details 

 of the former section are shown in plate 8, and of the second 

 section in plate 9 as above referred to. M. Dunal in his mo- 

 nograph of the genus, subsequently published in DC. Prodr. 

 xiii. 387, amphfies Dr. Sendtner's Cyphomandra, by the intro- 

 duction of the plants of my section Euthystemon, thus increasing 

 the number of species to thirty-four ; he classifies those of the 

 former section into five, and of the latter section into three sub- 

 divisions, after Dr. Sendtner's plan, according to the relative 

 lengths of the connective and the style. There are many cir- 

 cumstances that make it desirable to keep these two groups 

 quite distinct, having such marked characters ; and when Dr. See- 

 mauu submitted to my examination the Solanaceous plants of 

 his Panama collection, I ventured, in describing a new species 

 to suggest to him my views on this head, when he had the kind- 

 ness to publish them, together with my note on the subject in 

 his ^Botany of the Herald.' I there proposed to retain in 

 Dr. Sendtner s genus Cyphomandra, those species where the 

 anthers are much cui-ved, often rostrate at the apex (as in C 

 betacea and C. sycocarpa) ; the cells being verrucosely crumpled 

 m front, as m many Melastomacece, and partly imbedded in a 

 fleshy connective, which is dorsally gibbous at the base ; the
