[Creaghia nov. gen. (Ord. Rubiaceae. Trib. Cinchoneae. Subord. 

 Hillieae.) Calycis tubus obconicus compressus ; limbus 4 — 5 partibus, 

 caducus , lobo uno post anthesin in laminam foliaceam producto. 

 Corollae lobi 4 — 5 ad basim ijartiti, apice imbricati, breviter contorti, 

 demum reflexi. Stamina 4 — 3 , filamentis in alabastro supra stigma 

 armatis , flore expanso reflexis , antheris bilocularibus basi partitis, 

 versatilibus, post anthesin recurvis. Discus latus leviter convexus, medio 

 cavus. Ovarium 2-loculare ; stylus brevis , stigmatio apice 2-partito, 

 lobo uno majore in minorem reclinante ; Ovula numerosa placentis 

 eminentibus septo peltatim adfuscis inserta , imbricata , adscendentia. 

 Capsula . . . Semina ala tenui venulosa circumdata. Arbor haud elata 

 ramulis teretibus. Folia opposita. Stipulae ellipticae deciduae , in 

 alabastro coalitae. Flores in paniculis latis axillaribus dispositi, pedi- 

 cellati, ebracteolati, ramulis paniculae compressis. — Genus quod inter 

 omnia Calycophyllo DC. maxime accedit, ab ipso insigniter distinguitur 

 corollae lobo nnllo exteriore lobis omnibus fere ad basin partitis, fila- 

 mentis basi corollae fixis, calycis limbo partito , inflorescentia axillari. 

 Majori distantia recedit ab omnibus aliis congeneribus ejusdem sub-
