style being intrusc, or continuous with the ovarium, to the 

 obliquity of the limb, and to the number of the seeds; all 

 points very little considered hitherto. 



Leaves erect, oblong-lanceolate, undulated, hairy, ap- 

 pearing later than the leaves, glaucous. Raceme naked, 

 erect, many-flowered. Bracteolcs short, very small, ovate, 

 much shorter than the pedicels. Perianth 6-cleft, with a 

 campanulate fleshy tube, and an oblique limb ; the seg- 

 ments of which are 6, linear, not imbricating, undulated, 

 cucullate at the apex, finally rolling back. Stamens 6, 

 inserted into the base of the segments, slightly declinate 

 on account of the obliquity of the limb; jilaments subulate, 

 dilated at the base, conniving into a cone. Ovarium su- 

 perior, included within the tube of the perianth, 3-celled ; 

 cells many-seeded, in a double row ; style continuous with 

 the ovarium, declinate ; stigma thickened, 3-cornered.
