186 REPORT ON THE PLANTS 
sometimes with a simple cirrhus, in other cases without one; the 
petioles and petiolules are articulated with a prominent ring at the 
several places of their insertion; these tumid joints are placed some- 
what in front, so that the leaflets appear in some degree secund; a 
pair of stipuloid leaves embrace the foot of each petiole, in all the 
axils, The inflorescence is axillary towards the extremity of the branch- 
lets, in racemes of considerable length; the pedicels, in remote pairs, 
have a small bract at their base, and below the flower are 2 other large 
sessile leaf-shaped bracts, which enclose and conceal the calyx. 
calyx is a long ventricose tube, at first contracted by а small 5-dentate 
mouth, which in time splits on one side, to near the base, by the growth 
of the corolla, as in Macfadyena. The corolla and stamens are like 
those of Anemopegma, but the fruit is a long, narrow, compressed 
silique, with seeds like those of Pleonotoma. The latter genus and 
Pharseophora, therefore, belong to the Monostictides of De Candolle, 
while the position of Memora, as already shown, is among the Plet- 
ostictides. ‘The species at present recognisable are— 
All the species are climbing plants, the leaves being pinnate or 2-pinnate:
