 by mere rough aspect ! 



1062. NOLANIDIA Raf. 1815. another nat. 

 family of mine of same order Lobogynia, differ- 

 ing from Borragines by the Slobed ovary and 5 

 nuts or capsules. Nolana has the calix so dif- 

 ferent in all the sp. as to indicate several Gen- 

 era ; I had united Siphonanthus to it, but it ap- 

 pears the type of another family. Nolana pros- 

 trata has calix sagittate, N. coronata calix 

 cordate, N. spathidata calix spath. N. hijlala 

 and recoluta have calix ventricose, they will 

 form the subg. loliypa, Periesta, Spatidina, 

 Gastrina.

1064. SIPHONANTHIA Raf. this nat. fam. 

 differs from Nolanides and Borragines by cor. 

 4fid, stam. 4, berries 4 as in Prasiuni : it is thus 

 nearer Labiates, but the corollas are quite 

 equal. The habit of Siphonanthus with ternate 

 leaves and racemose fl. is also like Labiate. Is 

 it a subfamily of them ? do any other akin types 

 exist ? Falkia and Coldenia diflier by several 

 styles. But Jussieu mentions a Coldenia of 

 Peru with 1 style, corolla 5fid, 5 stamens which 

 is either a Nolana or a N. G. of Siphonanthia, 

 Monomesia Raf — Jiut Per ama lursuta Aubl. 

 (or Mattnschkea W. P. Slc) is another G. of 

 this family, having same habit, although it has 

 4 seeds instead of berries, and the flowers agre- 

 gate as in Globularia. The G. Monniera, Ra-
