odentatus lOgonus persistens, Fetalis 5 integris 

 ung. squama ad unguis, stig. 3 vel. 6 (Lin.) ; 

 Caps, uniloc. 3valv. sem. centralis? This in- 

 cludes many herbaceous Sp, of the mediterra- 

 nean region, Fr. levis, hirsuta^ &c. which I 

 have seen alive, and found with 3 stigmas and 

 central seeds. 



355. NoTHRiA, Berg. Franca Ad. I take the 

 name from the first, but characters from Ad. 

 Cal. tubul. 5dent. Pet. 5 crenatis, Stam. 5-10 

 (an 6-9 ?) stylo, stig. 3 caps 3valv. unil. Jussieu 

 says Adanson meant 31ocular. The type of this 

 is the Frankenia piilveruletita of several au- 

 thors, found from Sibiria to Senegal ; but per- 

 haps several Sp. have been blended. The real 

 Nothria repens of Berg and South Africa has 

 acute petals, and must be examined again. In 

 fact the authors have neglected to notice the in- 

 equality of stamens and their proportions, which 

 are quite essential ; altho' heterines for the Co- 

 rolla, they are isogyne or proportionate to stig- 

 mas in all. 



356. Lacanthis, R. (much spinos.) Euphor- 

 bia splendens Hook. b. mag. 2902. of all the 

 beautiful and strange plants blended in Euphor- 

 bia, this is one of the most singular and distinct 

 Genus. — Periantho cupularis lOlobo, lobis alt. 

 minor glanduliformis, Phorantho villoso. Andro- 

 phoris bifidis, stam. 2 ferens, antheris subrot.

 3fido, stig. 3dent. Frutex toto aculeis vestito^

 tanist of sense unite this with even the other 

 fruticose Euphorbias ?
