the seed ; for the Involucrum, which at first seems to afford so 

 excellent a distinction, considerabl}'^ loses its importance in 

 Tclopea truncata, in which it almost always includes the ru- 

 diments of branches, as in Hakea. In natural affinity Te- 

 lopea approaches much more nearly to Oreocallis, Avhich 

 dift'ers principally in having no gland at the base of the foot- 

 stalk of its ovarium, and in the want of an Involucrum : the 

 wing of the seed seems (from the figure in the Flora Peruviana) 

 to be in like manner vascular. Embothrium itself, which is 

 also very near akin to Telopea, is distinguishable by its verti- 

 cal stigma, oval pollen, and naked corymb).
