flowers ' iu terminal slender oftener nutant racemes ; peduncles and 

 pedicels articulate, 2-bracteolate. [Mexico."^) 



6. Heladena A. Juss.^ — Flowers nearly of Echinopterys ; glands 

 of calyx 8, stipitate peltate. Stamens 10, at base l-adclphous; 

 anthers inappendiculate glabrous or puberulous. Germen 3-gonal, 

 3-locular ; styles 3, unequal in length, agglutinate to each other, 

 finally solute, dilately truncate at stigmatose apex. Fruit 1 -3 carpels, 

 longitudinally cristate at back, indehiscent. — Shi-ubs ; leaves oppo- 

 site, often glandulose-deutate at base ; stipules subulate ; flowers * 

 in axillary or terminal ramose racemes ; pedicels articulate, 2- 

 bracteolate.^ {South Brazil.^') 



7. Galphimia Cat.'- — Calyx mostly eglandulose. Petals generally 

 equal uuguiculate, imbricate. Stamens 10 ; filaments free or connate 

 at base, glabrous or more rarely [Blcpharandra *) densely villose ; 

 anthers introrse inappendiculate, glabrous or more rarely [Blephar- 

 andra) barbate at margin and incrassate at back. Germen 3-locular ; 

 styles 3, free subulate stigmatose to acute apex. Capsule 3-coccous ; 

 cocci dehiscent 1-spermous; testa of subglobose seed crustaceous ; 

 cotyledons of exalbuminous embryo inflexed or incurved round fold 

 of testa incumbent, equal or unequal ; radicle rather long. — Trees, 

 shrubs, or sometimes under-shrubs ; leaves opposite eglandulose or 

 oftener glandulose fi-om sometimes dentate or crenate margin to the 

 top of the petiole ; stipules axillary, small or rather largo, free or 

 connate in paii'S ; flowers ^ in terminal racemes ; pedicels articulate 

 at base bracteate and 2-bracteolate. (Both Americas tropical and
