cello inarticulato biunciali. 
Calycis tubus adnatus omnino longissima cylindricus, laci- 
niis lanceolatis glandulis elevatis sparsis, zestivatione valvatis. 
Cor. rotata 5-petala, ezeterum ut in mare. Stam. rudimenta

papillosa sublunulata. 
Ovarium solidum, placentis 3 nempe centro coalitis, parti- 
bus ovuliferis tantum non-coherentibus ovula immersa trans- 
versa. 
Styli vasc. fasc. 9 nempe uni 3, uno centrali rotun- 
_ dato, 2 laterali oblongis transverse. | 
Mas. Cor. rotata. Stam. 5-tria adelpha, adelphis duobus 
bipartitis. Antherz sinuatie. 
> Fas. Cal. tubus cylindricus. Cor. 5 petala, stam. abor- 
tiv. 5.

Oss. There is some reason for supposing the Cirrhi of this 
to be modified petioles in spite of.their laterality, because their 
divisions correspond in number to the veins of the leaves! 
This however does not apply to*some, as the following Tri- 
chosanthes, in which the leaves are 3-veined, the Cirrhi 2, 
or 3-partite. Look whether any Cucurbits with oue vein 
have divided Cirrhi. ;

ollen. 
l. Alabast, 13 line long, cells of anther filled with a sub- 
coherent mass yet separable by pressure, outline of 
distinct, all entirely filled with grumous matter, earlier 
than this, the mass is not separable, nor are the cell 
distinct. :

32. ass easily separable from the anther, still cohering
