GENERIC CHARACTER } dec hots. 
SPECIFIC CHARACTER 
above generic character is taken from this species and bro the closely allied Rondeletia 
"egen of Chamisso and Schlechtendahl, which may be thus characterised as a second species of 
Hindsia. 
H. porti glabra v. tenuissime pubescens, stipulis eg foliis anguste ovatis bast longe 
cutatis, laciniis calycinis parum inæqualibus non dilat 
It is much to be regretted that these plants should have been referred to Rondeleti 
which they differ so much in appearance, and from which they may be essentially distinguished 
by the form d pe corolla, rather funnel-shaped than salver-shap ed, without any callous contrac- 
tion or bear mo LR of the tube, by the capsule which (according to Chamisso and Schlech- 
tendahl) sante Me the splitting of the dissepiment into two cocci, which are loculicidally split, 
and by some other minor points. Nearly the same characters distinguish them also from Sipanea 
which is idi as nearly related as — though very different in habit. They have also eid 
compared with Bouvardia, and in some respects resemble the large white-flowered species of that 
genus, but ae of all minor distinctions the Hindsias have the ovules, and probably the 
zit, of the t of Rondeletie , not of that of the Cinchonee

Both species vary in er size of th 
e flowers, and in the shade of their colour. In the H. lon- 
also, and perhaps in H. violacea, the stamens are entirely included in the tube of the < 
in some specimens，and in others the tips of the anthers protrude. In the latter case mg style 
appears to be less prominent than in the former，so that these differences may arise probably from 
a certain degree of sexuality. »
