much shorter than the thickened connective, 2-valved, the 
margins of the valves ciliate. Ovary smooth; cells 2-ovuled 
at base; stigmas 4, flattened, cruciate, each decurrent as a 
band along the (thus 4-winged) style. Capsule covered with ~ 
the enlarged calyx, 4-celled, 4-valved. Seeds erect.—DC. Prod. 
xiv. p. 484. 
Branching shrublets. Leaves flat, the uppermost suddenly passing into

2. STYLAPTERUS, A. Juss. 
Characters as in Penca, except: Ovary roughish; style 4- 
sided (but not 4-winged). Capsule in the torn calyx, more or 
less nude, the bracts and bracteoles deciduous.—D@C. Prod. xiv. 
p. 486. 
Shrublets, with flat or acerose heathlike leaves. Flowers in the upper axils 
and very caducous, thin, often ciliate; bracts and bracteoles sometimes 
wanting altogether P—8 species. 
3. BRACHYSIPHON, A. Juss. 
Calyx-tube oblong ; lobes about as long, valvate or redupli- 
cate-valvate in bud. Filaments very short ; anther-cells 
shorter than the thick connective, the valves entire. Ovary 
smooth, oblong; style filiform, terete; stigma small, 4-lobed.

Shrublets, with flat or rarely acicular leaves, and flowers in the upper 
axils.—6 species. 
4. SARCOCOLLA, Kth. 
Calyx-tube oblong; lobes shorter than the tube, reduplicate- 
valvate in bud. Stamens exserted ; anthers equalling the fila- 
ments, the cells nearly equalling the connective, the valves 
entire. Ovary smooth; cells 2-ovuled ; style slender, terete ; 
stigma capitate, 4-lobed.—DC. Prod. xiv. p. 488.

5. GLISCHROCOLLA, A. DC.

tube, reduplicate-valvate in bud. Filaments short, thick ; 
anthers cordate-ovate ; cells oblong, longer than the warted 
connective, introrse. Ovary smooth, 4-celled, each cell 4-
