5. CYANOTIS, Don. 



Herbs, usually prostrate or creeping. Leaves small. Flowers in axillary 

 and terminal scorpioid cymes, formed of large imbricating biseriate.secund 

 foliaceous falcate bracteoles, the petals and stamens alone exserted, ra rely 

 with the corolla-tube exserted ; flowers sometimes in exposed racemes, or 

 fascicled in the ochrea. Sepals subequal, free or connate below. Petals 

 subequal often united in a tube below, limb orbicular. Stamens 6, all 

 perfect subequal, hypogynous or epipetalous, filaments usually bearded 

 often inflated towards the apex, anthers oblong. Ovary 3-celled ; ovules 

 2 collateral in each cell one erect the other pendulous. Capsule 3-celled, 

 loculicidal, cells usually 2-seeded. Seeds superposed, cubical or pyramidal, 

 usually rugose. 



Many of the following species may probably have to be reduced.
