mutilate at the Bafe, the lower Part of 
which runs into a Claw of the Length of 
the Calyx; and inferted in the Receptacle, 
but the upper and fide Raciniz are inter- 
woven with that Part of the Ale that is of 
the fame Shape. The Form of the Sides of 
the Carina, is much like that of the Ale; 
and fo alfo is their Situation, except that 
they are lower, and f{tand within them. The 
Line that forms the Carina or Keel, in this 
Petal, runs ftraight as far as the Middle, and 
then rifes gradually in the Segment of a 
Circle, but the marginal Line runs ftraight 
to the Extremity, where meeting the cari- 
nal, they terminate obtufely.

Filaments two, of different Forms, viz. a 
lower one that involves the Piftillum, and . 
an upper one incumbent on it. The former 
of thefe, from the Middle downwards, is _ 
eylindraceous, membranaceous, and fplit 
lengthwife on its upper Side; but the upper 
Half terminates in nine fubulate * Parts, that 
are of the fame Length with, and follow the 
Flexure of the Carina of the Corolla, and of 
which the intermediate or lower Radii F are 
longer by alternate Pairs. Theupper Fila-
