fi-utescent plants from the same countries,^ of which the type of a 

 distinct family has been made having regular flowers, with poly- 

 petalous corolla, contorted as in Balbisia, whose jjetals however are 

 valvate instead of being imbricate, the gynseceum being, like that of 

 Wcndtia, reduced to three. Sometimes there are only two biovulate 

 cells ; the fruit being a loculicidal capsule with two or three panels. 

 The floral receptacle bears here, as in Geranium, some alternipetalous 

 glands.
