Antiphytum, as founded by De Candolle upon Mo9ino's drawing 

 of a Mexican species, is utterly obscure ; as propounded by him in 

 Meissner's work it is apparently a good genus for Brazilian species 

 with opposite leaves, for which Bentham re-establishes it. But the fol- 

 lowing species, as Bentham indicated, must be allowed to fall into the 

 present genus. Although somewhat peculiar in habit, it comes well 

 into the present section as now extended.
