The first two subtribes of Chamelauciee have a peculiar habit, which had induced their 
being proposed as a distinct Order, but some of the third subtri ibe (Thryptomenee) pass so 
y into the Leptospermee, as only to be distinguishable from Beckea by the examina- 
tion of the ovary.

with intervening staminodia rarely wanting, or 4 times as many as petals
