4-parted, densely villous inside. Stamens 4, shorter than the 

 corolla ; filaments short ; anthers linear. Stigma bifid. Berries 

 combined, 2-celled, many-seeded. Seeds numerous, angular. 

 A glabrous somewhat dichotomous shrub. Leaves petiolate, 

 ovate, acuminated, smooth, coriaceous. Stipulas short, inter-

 ovate tube, a 5-6-toothed limb: and triangular, lanceolate, blunt-

LIN. SYST. Pentandria, Monogynia. Calyx witli an obovate 

 tube, having the limb 5-cleft beyond the middle (f. 91. a.), and 

 drawn out above the ovarium. Corolla of a clavate funnel- 

 shape (f. 91. 6.), with a naked throat, and 5 short lobes (f. 91. 

 c.), which are imbricated and twisted in aestivation. Stamens 5 ; 

 filaments adnate to the tube, but free above the middle ; anthers 

 almost sessile, inclosed (f. 91. 6.). Stigma oblong-clavate (f. 

 91. e.~), and appearing as if it were composed of 2 concrete ones, 

 bearing five convex crests, and a series of tufts of hairs. 

 Berry crowned by the calyx, 2-celled, turbinately globose. 

 Placentas adnate to the dissepiment. Embryo slender. Shrubs, 

 native of the Cape of Good Hope. Leaves ovate, acute, a little 

 cordate at the base, petiolate. Stipulas interpetiolar, broad, 

 cuspidate at the apex, deciduous. Flowers scarlet, disposed in

Small-flowered Burchellia. Fl. May, June. Clt. 1818. Shrub 

 3 to 4 feet. 



Cult. The species of Burchellia thrive well either in the warm 

 part of a green-house, or the cold parts of a stove, and there- 

 fore may be termed hardy stove plants. Their heads, of beauti- 

 ful scarlet and orange coloured flowers, make them desirable for 

 collections. They grow well in a rich light soil, or a mixture 

 of turfy loam, turfy peat, and sand ; and cuttings taken off not 

 too ripe strike root readily, if planted in sand and placed under 

 a hand-glass, in a moderate heat.

LIN. SYST. Hexdndria, Monogynia. Limb of calyx tubular, 

 terete, 6-toothed, falling off very slowly. Corolla salver-shap- 

 ed, with a terete tube, which is longer than the calyx, and a 6- 

 parted spreading limb ; lobes oblong. Anthers 6, inclosed, 

 linear. Stigma clavate. Berry obovate-oblong, corticate, areo- 

 late at the apex, 2-3-celled. Seeds disposed in 2 rows in each 

 cell, flat, depressed, nearly orbicular, separated from 'each other 

 by small horizontal dissepiments. Trees or shrubs, natives of 

 South America. Leaves opposite or 3 in a whorl, on short 

 petioles, nerved, glabrous. Stipulas oblong, deciduous. Flowers 

 almost sessile, disposed in corymbs at the tops of the branches. 

 Perhaps the fruit is at length 1-celled, from the dissepiment 

 having vanished, ex Aubl.
