ovules may diminish to two in each cellj In Renggeria^^ rightly 

 referred as a section to the same genus, there are ten stamens, the 

 filaments of which are united in a short and thick tube, at the summit 

 of which the anthers display their two distinct and divergent cells. 

 In EavetiopsiSj^ which we do not separate generically from the 



Qurtpoya {Rengifa) scandens.

preceding types, there are often only four stamens, monadelphous 

 below, but the anthers of which become introrse. Some, which have 

 been named Oligos^pora,"^ have only from two to four ascending ovules 

 in each cell ; others (Havetiella^) have a greater number. Balboa ^ 

 comprises species of Havetiopsisj the stamens of which, four to six 

 in number, are surrounded by four petals of variable imbrication 

 and not constantly decussate. In QJdematopus,'^ generically con- 

 founded by the most recent authors ® with Havetiopsis, the stamens 

 have the same configuration as in the true Quapoya, but their 



^ They are ascending when they are few in 

 number, and approach the horizontal direction 

 as the number increases.
