 usually pedunculate, the pedicels very short. Calyx-segments obtuse, under 

 1 line long. Corolla-tube shorter than the calyx, bearded inside at the 

 throat; lobes about as long as the tube ; the males with rather long anthers, 

 a flat ahortive ovary and a cylindrical clavate stigma ; the females with abor-

7. L. micrantlia, Bentli. in Journ. Linn. Soc, i. 94?. A small dlvari- 

 cately-bvanched shrub, glabrous or the young shoots minutely pubescent. 

 Leaves very shortly petiolate, linear, obtuse, rather thick, with recurved or 

 thickened margins, under \ in. long. Flowers minute, 4-merous, in little 

 cymes or clusters terminal or in the upper axils, on peduncles of 1 to 2 hues, 

 sometimes almost solitary. Calyx-segments very obtuse, scarcely as long as 

 the corolla-tube. Corolla altogether about f line long, the lobes very ol)tuse, 

 about as long as the tube, the throat not bearded. Anthers in the males 

 rather large, ovate ; ovary abortive ; stigma small oblong. Ovary in the fe- 

 males large, with a broad sessile stigma, and a single ovule in each cell pel- 

 tetely attached to the prominent placenta. Capsule ovoid, as long as the 

 cal}^- Seeds solitary in each cell, tlattened ; testa minutely pitted ; albumen

8. L. liaifolia, Scldedd. Linnma, xx. 605. An erect branclung slirub, 

 quite glabrous or rarely pubescent. Leaves linear, obtuse, rather thick, flat 

 or concuve, narrow-ed into a short petiole, mostly under \ in. long except on 

 tlie main branches where they attain sometimes f in. Mowers rather small, 

 "1 small pedunculate terminal cymes. Calvx-segments obtuse ; corolla and 

 stamens of L. ovata, except that the corolla is either quite glabrous inside or 

 only very slightly bearded at the base of the lobes as in L. fionhunda, tr 

 ^vhidi this is at once distin<aiished by the terminal inflorescence.
