1-3 inches long; leaflets 3-7, either petiolate or almost ses- 

 sile, broadly ovate, somewhat cnneate at base, coarsely ser- 

 rate, long-acnminate, the upper ones sometimes connate: 

 stipules ciiiate, adnate to the expanded base of the petiole, 

 which breaking away leaves the stem marked by the closely- 

 set adherent bases: calyx lobes minute: petals 5-6, imbri- 

 cate-valvate, triangular-ovate, the apex thickened at the 

 midvein within: anthers short-ovate, equal in number to the 

 petals: disk conical: ovary often 6celled; fruit 5-() ribbed: 

 panicle compound: peduncle elongated with few umbels; 

 pedicels numerous, a half inch long, very sparingly scabrous : 

 bracts and bractlets narrowly-lanceolate. The serratures 

 are tipped by often incurved teeth. — Common on the rocks

 gorio. 



Hedyotis (Ereicotis) MUCROXATABenth. Bot. Sulph. 19. —

 Ereicotis, to which they were referred, has since been in- 

 cluded in the genus Mallostoma, Gen. PI. ii, 60; but as 

 their determination is uncertain, the names are merely cop- 

 ied from Mr. Bentham's list.
