Hiigel observes that this genus ranks between Thomasia and 
Seringia ; differing from the latter in the persistent calyx, and the 
_ presence of petals, by the stamens being all fertile and the 
anthers opening with lateral dehiscence ; and from the former 
by having the stamens united into a cup, by the styles bein : 
distinct at the base, and in the absence of bracteas beneath the 
calyx ;—while from both of these it is very distinct in habit. — |
