dusium to the stigma, and which exists in a remarkable degree 

 in the sect. Brunoniece. Upon the nature of the indusium of the 

 stigma, Mr. Brown makes the following remarks : " Is this 

 remarkable covering of the stigma merely a process of the apex 

 of the style ? or is it a part of distinct origin, though intimately 

 cohering with the pistillum ? On the latter supposition, may it 

 not be considered as analogous to the glandular disk, surround- 

 ing or crowning the ovarium in many other families ? And in 

 adopting the hypothesis I have formerly advanced, respecting 

 the nature of this disk in certain families merely that it is com- 

 posed of a series of modified stamina has not the part in ques- 

 tion a considerable resemblance, in apparent origin and division, 

 to the stamina of the nearly-related family Stylidece ? To render 

 this supposition somewhat less paradoxical, let the comparison 

 be made especially between the indusium of Brunonia and the 

 imperfect anthers in the female flowers of Forstera. Lastly, 

 connected with this view, it becomes of importance to ascertain 

 whether the stamina in Stylidece are opposite to the segments of 

 the calyx or corolla. The latter disposition would be in favour 

 of the hypothesis. This, however, is a point which will not be 

 very easily determined, the stamina being lateral. In the mean- 

 time, the existence and division of the corona faucis in Styli- 

 dium render it not altogether improbable that they are opposite 

 to the segments of the corolla." R. Br. in Lin. trans. 12.

 with equal segments. Anthers distinct. Style simple. Cap- 

 sule 2-celled (rarely 4-celled), with a parallel dissepiment, which 

 in some species is short. Seeds imbricated, compressed. Corolla 

 bilabiate, rarely unilabiate (f. 124. c.). 



2 DISTYLIS. Calyx superior, with a 5-parted limb. Corolla 

 deciduous, having the tube cleft on the upper side, with a 5- 

 parted, spreading, sub-bilabiate limb. Stamens distinct. Style 

 bipartite. Indusium of stigma cup-shaped, and ciliated. Cap- 

 sule half bilocular. Seeds imbricated, compressed, bordered. 



3 CALOGYNE. Calyx superior, with an equal 5-parted limb. 

 Corolla bilabiate. Anthers distinct. Style trifid. Gland epi- 

 gynous between the 2 lower filaments. Capsule almost 1- 

 celled, from the dissepiment being short. Seeds imbricated, 

 compressed. 



4 EUTHA'LES. Calyx inferior, with an unequal 5-cleft limb. 

 Corolla adhering to the tube below the ovarium, cleft on the 

 upper side, with a bilabiate limb. Style undivided. Indusium 

 of stigma bilabiate. Capsule 4-valved, 2-celled at the base. 

 Seeds imbricated, compressed. 



5 VELLE'IA. Calyx inferior, of 3-5 unequal leaves. Corolla 

 having the base of the tube adnate to the ovarium, and cleft on 

 the upper side at the apex ; limb bilabiate. Anthers distinct. 

 Style undivided. Gland epigynous between the 2 anterior fila- 

 ments. Capsule 2-celled at the base ; valves bipartite. Seeds 

 imbricated, compressed. 



6 LECHENAU'LTIA. Calyx superior (f. 125. a.). Corolla

 bottom of the indusium. Capsule prismatic, 2 celled, 4-valved. 

 Seeds cubical or nucumentaceous. 



7 ANTHOTIUM. Calyx superior, 5-parted. Corolla having 

 the tube cleft on the upper side, and the limb bilabiate ; seg- 

 ments of the upper lip auricled on the inner side. Anthers 

 cohering. Ovarium 2-celled, many-seeded. Indusium of stigma 

 contrary to the lips of the corolla. 



TRIBE II. 

 SC.SVOLE.S:. Seeds definite. Drupe inferior. 



8 SCJEVOLA. Corolla cleft on the upper side, exceeding the 

 genitals ; limb unilabiate, secund, 5-parted, with equal winged 

 segments. Anthers free. Indusium of stigma ciliated. 



9 DIASPA'SIS. Corolla nearly regular, salver-shaped ; tube 5- 

 parted, inclosing the genitals. Anthers free. Ovarium 1 -celled, 

 2-seeded. Indusium of the stigma with a naked border. Nut 

 corticate. 



10 DAMPIE'RA. Corolla bilabiate (f. 126. a.), having the 

 tube cleft on the upper side (f. 125. d.) ; segments of the upper 

 lip auricled on the inner margin. Anthers cohering (f. 126. rf.). 

 Ovarium 1 -seeded. Indusium of the stigma with a naked border, 

 (f. 126. c.). Nut crustaceous. 



TRIBE III.

 cleft, and furnished with 4 bracteas. Corolla monopetalous, 

 funnel-shaped ; limb 5-parted, having the 2 superior segments 

 more deeply divided. Stamens 5, hypogynous. Anthers con- 

 nate. Indusium of stigma 2-valved. Utriculus inclosed within 

 the indurated tube of the calyx.
