596. Oblixilis liaf. 1818. diff. Urtica, Cal. 

 Inasc. 5part. 5andris, fl, fern. 2phyl. ineq. per* 

 sistens, stylo lateralis reflexo, stig. acuto, sem. 

 orbic. obliqua plana acum. — Types. JJ. divari^ 

 cata, canadensis and my new species, see my 

 new Flora. These plants have a singular struc- 

 ture of seed, with a very evident style and un- 

 equal small valves to it. Sir James Smith ho- 

 ped that some American botanists would illus- 

 trate tiiem. It is probable other sp. belong here, 

 compare U. membranacea. 



597. MoNosTERiA Raf. (one ster) cal. 4part. 

 corolla 4fida infund. stam. 2, una sterilia, stig. 

 capit. caps uniloc. bivalvis, polysperma. — This 

 must be added to the 6fentiana i but is very 

 near Heteroclita 482, and Pladera. It is the 

 Hopea, of Vahl. W. Sm. but now L. which has 

 wrongly been united to Symplocos. 



598. Monosteria lUchotoma Raf. Hopea do 

 V. W. Sm. Exacum pusillum Roxb. caule di- 

 chot. 4gono pumilo, fol. ovatis et lanceol. supe- 

 ris subul. fl. ad dichot. ramis 3fl — Coromanclel, 

 fl. yellow. 



599. Pladera Roxb. Canscora Lam. cal. tu- 

 bulosus 4alatus 4dentatus, cor. infundib. irregu- 

 laris 41oba, lobis 2 major, stam. 5 ineq. ui?a 

 minor, stigma stylosus bilobus. Capsula ut 

 Gentianea. — another G. blended with Exacum 

 by L. yet evidently not even of same family, 

 but of Orobanchides with Monosteria and 

 Heteroclita^ that family differing from Genti- 

 anides by irregular corolla or stamens not is- 

 arine nor opposite. Hooker says it has 5 sp. 

 all annuals, and that Crt?^5cora badly described 

 by Lamark belongs here ; but the type will be.
