i inch long, very narrow, quite linear, blunt, convex above, deeply grooved below from the recurved margins and 
strong midrib; surface quite smooth, or with a few scattered raised point- ,,.,!, diameter.

large, long, five, hyaline cells, eaeh containing a small bundle of raphid, ,. < 
Seeds two or three, obovate or obpyriform ; testa in immature seeds brittle, pale brown. Jrillmt irregularly sap. 
shaped, not torn.— The structure of the connective of the anther in this .and probably other sp, , i, 
is very curious. In the habit, small bracts, few stamens, small foliage, and occasionally seabrid scattered points 
on its surface, this plant closely approaches Pkurmin riparia, Br. It is also very closely allied to // 
Br., of Sydney, but the flowers are sessile. //. erica-folia. Br. MS*, in Mas. Brit., appears to be tin -

neither natural nor tenable on other grounds, ami it i> probable that the number of ovules nffords the best primary 
sections. The stamens arc cither free or united into a bun. lie by the bases of their filaun ,i 
even variety: and the tribe Ahj*soi(l-<r, characterized by the stellate pubescence, appear, to be rendered nugatory by /' 
ovata, which has sometime- only simple and at other times stellate hair-; whence 1 suspect that dit! 
are described under different names in the sections Alyssoidea and Ilibberlianre. The connective of the anthers presents 
the same curious canals, charged with very long fusiform cells, that Hibherlia ericrrfoliu docs: the arillus is as in 
that plant, formed from the micropyle, and the embryo. which i- i x,. m !\ minnte, is enclosed in B i 
albumen. (Named from nXeupa, a side, and avrjp, in allusion to tin unilateral stamens.)
