rangeaSy especially those that possess a single style with a thick and 

 more or less angular or lobed stigmatiferous head. But the valvate 

 corolla is circumcissile, coming off at the base in a single piece. The 

 fruit is a capsule with four or five many-seeded cells. This small 

 genus comprises one or two Asiatic species, with opposite exstipulate 

 leaves, and small flowers in compound branching racemes. 



Broiissaisia, x with the floral organization of Pileostegia, has 

 a baccate fruit and polygamous flowers. Their single style is dilated 

 above into a five-lobed stigmatiferous head. Dichroa? has a fleshy 

 fruit, but from three to five distinct styles. The petals are well 

 developed and valvate. One species of Dic/iroa is known, a native 

 of the temperate regions of India, China, Java, and the Philip- 

 pines, 3 with alternate leaves, and flowers that change colour 

 from blue to pinky lilac. The only known species 4 of Broussaisia 

 1ms opposite leaves, and inhabits the Sandwich Islands. 



VII. PHILADELPHIA SERIES. 



We shall commence the study of this order with the genus Deulzicf 

 (figs. 394-396), which has regular hermaphrodite flowers. The 

 hollow receptacle, saccate or obconical, bears on its rim five valvate 

 sepals, and five alternating petals of imbricate or valvate-induplicate 

 aestivation. At the same height are inserted, more internally, ten 

 stamens, five superposed to the sepals, and five shorter to the petals. 

 Their filaments are large and subpetaloid, and divide above into
