SECTION I: ANALYTICAL KEY TO SPECIES 61 



SECTION I. Species with a Fuzz but no Floss, 



BRACTEOLES quite free, sometimes even clawed, and frequently 

 inserted at different levels on the base of the calyx-tube ; rarely 

 possessed of EXTRA-FLORAL GLANDS (nectaries) on the pedicels, and 

 never within on the calyx ; SEEDS with distinct and firmly adhering 

 fuzz, but no trace of a true floss. 



Perennial shrubs with the leaves often entire, or only angled or 

 lobed, glabrous, pilose, or tomentose. Wild species (never recorded 

 as met with under cultivation), distributed from the western coast 

 tracts and islands of America to Australia.
