Spinescent Scsevola. Shrub. 



Cult. All the species grow freely in a mixture of turfy loam, 

 turfy peat, and sand ; and cuttings planted in the same kind of 

 soil, with a hand-glass placed over them, strike root readily ; 

 those of the stove species in heat. 



IX. DIASPA'SIS (from liainraaie, diaspasis, a pulling asun- 

 der ; segments of corolla). R. Br. prod. p. 586. 



LIN. SYST. Pentdndria, Monogynia. Corolla almost regular, 

 salver-shaped, with a 5-parted tube. Genitals inclosed. An- 

 thers free. Ovarium 1-celled, 2-seeded. Indusium of stigma 

 with a naked border. Nut corticate. An erect smooth branched 

 herb, besprinkled with a little simple down. Leaves alternate, 

 nearly terete. Peduncles axillary, 1 -flowered, furnished with 2 

 leaves at the apex, in the manner of those of Sceevola hispida. 

 Flowers drooping. Calyx short, 5-cleft. Claws of corollas 

 connate at the base, and connected by very short capitate down 

 above. Wings of the broader laminae of the corolla ascend- 

 ing, with flat disks : the superior 2 dissimilar. Anthers beard- 

 less. Indusium of stigma somewhat 2-valved. Drupe dry, 

 1 -seeded. This genus is nearly allied to Sccevbla, and particu- 

 larly to sect. 3. of that genus, with which it agrees in the in- 

 florescence.
