ag-ain discovered, but we now find it necessary to publish 

 some account of the plant. 



Tlic fruit being unknown, we are unable to obtain even 

 an apj)roximation to its true station in the system. In some 

 respects it resembles Cunoniacese, especially in its remarkable 

 stipidation, and apocarpous many-seeded pistil, combined 

 with opposite leaves; but it differs in having only five 

 hypogynous stamens, three instead of two carpels, and a 

 remarkably imbricated calyx. 



Eucryphia and Carpodontos among Hypericacese are 

 polyandrous and have no stipules, besides other points of 

 discrepancy. 



Hugoniacese have alternate leaves, a different habit, and 

 a larger number of stamens. 



Anisadenia, which seems to be a shrubby Elatinaceous 

 plant, has monadelphous stamens, and no hypogynous cup, 

 &c. Its leaves are also alternate without stipules. 



In all probability Ochranthe forms a part of some 

 unknown order, the station of which will be in the Calycose 

 group of polypetalous Dicot^dedons, either in the Cistal or 

 Guttal alliance. (See Key to Structural, Physiological and 

 Systematic Botany, p. ^\,)
