ably agrees in habit, it differs essentially in its tubular not 

 campanulate, very irregular, perianth, and in the absence 

 of the honey-pores which form so remarkable a part of the 

 character of Massonia. With the fruit we are unacquainted. 



Fig. 1. represents a flower of the ray with the larger lip ; 

 fig. 2. is one of the flowers of the disk, in which both lips 

 are very small and imperfect ; ftg. 3. is a vertical section of 

 the ovary, with the empty upper portion of the cells ; fig. 4. 

 is a transverse section of the ovary, shewing how closely itis 

 invested by the tube of the perianth ; this takes place to such 

 a degree as to give the ovary the appearance of being 

 inferior.
