». Oss. Themectary and the seed-vessel’ differ’ greatly in the 
different species, 'In-some, the former ig long and awl-shaped, 
and the latter opens equally. _ In others, the nectary is blunt, 
scarcely protuberating; the capsule unequal at the base, open- 
ing at the top obliquely ; and, in others again, still different.

Ozs. Inthe mouth of the blossom, beneath the upper seg- 
ments, lies another little segment resembling a lip; but this is 
not common to every species. The blossom, in this genus, should 
be considered as reversed. The upper lip smaller, bowed back, 
rounded, the stamens bowed down towards it ; the lateral seg- 
ments scolloped, rounded, equal to the upper; the lower Lp 
larger, open, with 2 divisions; the intermediate lip very small, 
placed in the fore part. Linn.—When ripe, an oval opening 
appears in the partition. (Gertn.) bait cn ia
