—1. VOYRIA. Corolla salverform, bearing tiie stamens below the throat. Anthers short. 

 Stigma undivided. Seeds very numerous, tailed at both ends. 



—1. VC^RIA, Aublet. (Unexplained name.) — Leafless and colorless 

 (white) little herbs, of Trojjical America, parasitic on decaying trunks, &c., 

 bearing small subulate scales for leaves, in the manner of Bartonia.

4. EtJSTOMA, Salisb. 



E. silenifolium, Salisb. (Parad. Lond. t. .34), is the name which should have been retained 

 for E. exaltatum, Griseb. In S. California this certainly becomes perennial, according to
