84 XLVITI. MYRTACER: [Jecke. | 
Section V. OxyuYnRHINE.— Stamens few or numerous, but none oppo- | 
site the centre of the petals (except in B. polyandra) ; filaments filiform. f 
Anther-cells more or less united at the base, didymous, deeply furrowed and | 
opening in pores in the furrows, giving the whole anther the appearance of 4 
collateral globular cells, either all equal or the central ones smaller, the 
connective-gland sometimes appearing like a fifth. Ovary 3-celled, with mu $ 
merous ovules in each cell. 
This section might almost be united with the previous one, but the anthers appear to gt ` | 
to form a nearer approach to those of Badingtonia. The species are all western, whilst the £ 
Harmogias are eastern. 4 
. B. uncinella, Benth. Branches rather slender. Leaves erect ot [. 
spreading, rather distant, linear or linear-cuneate, semiterete or triquetrous, 
with short recurved points, 2 to 3 lines long. Flowers usually 3 together, on 
short, slender peduucles, the pedicels longer than the calyx-tube. Bracteole | 
none or exceedingly fugacious. Calyx-tube turbinate, about 1 line longi | 
lobes short and obtuse. Petals little more than 1 line diameter. Stamens 
about 8, none opposite the centre of the petals; filaments short, not elavate; 
opening in the furrows in pores or very short slits ; connective-gland small. 
Ovary 3-celled, with 15 to 20 ovules in each cell, round a small peltate piä- 
centa; style rather deeply immersed. E

branches, obtuse or with a minute recurved point, rarely 
turbinate-campanulate, 5-ribbed; lobes short, erect, acute, herbaceous bt 
slightly scarious on the margin and denticulate at the base. Petals above l3 
lines diameter. Stamens 20 to 25, in a single row, those opposite the cen”
