CEPHALOTE.TL,fiJ. Bvoivn, PMl. Mag. (183^\— Cephalotaceae, Lindl. Key, No. 5. (1835,'; Ed. pr. No 5). 

 A stemless herb ■with exstipulate leaves, among which are mingled operculate pitchers. Scape simple, 

 bearing a compound terminal spike. Flowers small. Calyx coloured, six-parted, with a valvate 

 aestivation. Corolla 0. Stamens 1-2, those opposite the sepals shortest, inserted into the edge of a deep 

 glandular perigjTious disk ; anthers with a thick granular connective. Cai-pels 6, distinct, one-seeded ; 

 o\Tile erect. Akenia membranous, opening by the ventral suture, surrounded by the persistent calyx 

 and stamens. Seed sohtary (very seldom two) erect. Embryo minute, in the base of the axis of a fleshy 

 friable somewhat oily albumen. — The single species on which this imaginary Order has been founded is 

 a native of the marshes of King George's Sound in New Holland. It is allied, according to Labillar- 

 diere, to Roseworts, and according to Jussieu, to Houseleeks ; according to Brown, the Order should be 

 placed between Houseleeks and Francoads. Its very copious albumen and apocarpous fruit seem, 

 however, to fix it far from the former of those Orders, and to place it unquestionably in the Ranal 

 Alliance, from which it forms a transition to Francoads in the Berberal Alliance, and through those 

 plants to Sarraceniads, in which the leaves are in like manner transformed into pitchers. The difficulty 

 that Botanists have found in deciding where to place it, has arisen out of the apparently perigynous 

 station of its stamens, which are represented as gi'owing from the outer edge of a deep glandular perigy- 

 nous disk. But if, as seems probable, that disk is a mere expansion of the footstalk, analogous to what 

 occurs in Eschscholtzia, then all difficulty about the station is removed, and the genus will fall into 

 the ranks of the Crowfoots ; a probability somewhat increased by its valvate aestivation, which is like 

 that of Clematis. Genus. Cephalotus, R. Br. Gen. 1. Sp. 1.
