en the new Genus Doryanthes. 2 1 3 



hexapetaU, The feeds in the jigave are ranged in two feries; in the 

 Doryanthes they are difpofed as above, and the antherse as defcribed. 



Obferv. 2. The veftigcs of the corolla in the fruit perfuade me 

 that the corolla is to be coiifidcred z.% fupera, but the traces of the 

 divifions of petals, which may be remarked in the flower as far as 

 the pedunculus, might perhaps induce a fufpicion that the fruit 

 makes one body with the inferior part of the corolla, which by that 

 means infru5lum abit. 



The loftinefs of the flem of the only fpecies hitherto known of 

 this genus, which arifcs to the height of above 20 feet, may warrant 

 the trivial name of Doryanthes excel/a.
