The affinities of this plant is on the limits of Apocynee 
and burdering on Asclepiadez, to which at first sight it is 
referable from the appearance of the male organs, judging 
from this genus, I take the processes of the corona stami- 
nea of Asclepiadez to be processes of the filament. They 
are hence essentially pentandrous.
