alvvays 4-merous. Calyx very short, toothed. Petals smooth, united at tlie 

 base or soinetimes quite separating. Pod linear, often several in. long, 2 to 

 4 lines broad or rarely more; valves conaceouSj convex over the seeds, usually 

 contracted between them. Seeds longitudinal, often distant, funicle not 

 much folded, thickened almost from the base into a turbinate ahnost cup- 

 shaped aril at the base of the seed, and sometimes nearly as large. — F. Muell

Under the nan;e of J. longifolia^ I have followed F. Mueller in including the following 

 forms, which, different as they generally appear, are connected hy such a gradual chain of 

 • intermediates that they can uot be separated by any positive characters, excepting perhaps 

 the first which seems to have a much broader pod, but is as yet not sufticieutly knoffii.
