LIN. SYST. Pentandria, Monogynia. All as in Cepltce'lis, ex- 

 cept in the anthers and stigmas, which are a little exserted. Ber-

 limb of the calyx ; nuts or pyrenae 1 -seeded, smooth on the out- 

 side, not striated, as in Cephce'lis. Glabrous shrubs, with ra- 

 ther nodose branches. Leaves petiolate, oval, acuminated.

 bidentate. Heads of the flowers rising from the axils of the 

 upper leaves, on short peduncles, deflexed, girded by 4 acute 

 bracteas. Corollas white. According to Willdenow, Jussieu, 

 and Richard, this genus should only form a section of Ce- 

 phce'lis,

LIN. SYST. Pentandria, Monogynia. Calyx with an ovate 

 tube, and a tubular angular limb, which is 5 times longer than
