This plant differs from the type 7?. setosa in the anthers, ihe cells of which are 

 slightly unequal, divaricated in the lower half and muticous : it differs from Z?»/7ro/>/a7<z 

 in the cor< 11a which is altogether as of Ihfellia, and from Biiellia, in the pollen. In 

 technical characters, it is a Hemiffi-aphis. It is very possible that Cahphanes hi/ssopi- 

 folius, Nees (recorded below at the end of Dyschoriste), may be allied.
