 stiffer and less branched, and the branches usually ashy-whitc. Leaves 

 narrow-linear, obtuse, or nearly so/|^ to 1-|- in. long, the edges so revolute as 

 to make them nearly terete. Pedicels very slender, usually about | in. long. 

 Flowers of //. stellaris^ but smaller, the sepals more herbaceous. Anthers 

 nearly orbicular, and very concave on tlic inner face. Carpels of H. stellaris^

 slender branches. Leaves linear, flat, acute, and somewhat falcate, mostly 

 about 1 in. long, narrowed below the middlcj the floral ones often sliglitJy 

 enlarged and sheathing, or stem-clasping tit the base. Flowers numerous, on 

 slender peduncles of ^ to f in. Sepals orbicular, uiembnuious, very obtuse, 

 about 2 Hues long. Petals nearly twice as long, broad, deeply notched and 

 more persistent than in most, species. Stamens about 15, without^ stami- 

 tiodia, the anthers short, broad, and flattened, turned over the ovaries, and 

 opening on the inner face. Carpels 3, very truncate, glabrous, 1- or 2-ovu-

Sepals 5. Petals 5. Stamens united to the middle or higher up, into five 

 bundles, each bearing 2 to 6 anthers, and alternating with the carpels when 

 there are five carpels, or when the carpels are reduced to 3 or 2, 2 or 3 of 

 the bundles are often reduced to a single stamen, and in some species there 

 is a free stamen within each bundle. No stamiuodia. Cai-pels usually 3 or 

 5, very rarely reduced to 2, always glabrous, with 1, 2, or very nn-ely 3 

 ovules in each. Styles and fruit of ///^6e;-^/a.— Shrubs or undershrubs with
