frutescent plants from the same countries,^ of Avhich the type of a 

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

 petalous corolla, contorted as in Balhisia^ whose petals however are 

 valvate instead of being imbricate, the gyna3 ceum being, like that of 

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

 cells ; the fi-uit being a loculicidal capsule with two or three panels. 

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

 elands.
