470 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 
in gynobasic column, at apex all dilated, recurved, stigmatiferous, 
free. Ovule solitary in germens, inserted at internal angle near base, 
suborthotropous, ascending; micropyle superior.—A very slender, 
glabrous shrub; branches and twigs opposite; leaves opposite, 
pellucid-punctulate, digitate-3-foliolate ; folioles membranous, un- 
equally-crenate or dentate; flowers’ in axillary cymes, generally 
3-flowered, with very slender peduncules, shorter than the petiole 
(lV. Caledonia’). 
30. Acradenia Krrr.—Flowers nearly of Boronia, hermaphrodite, 
4—8-merous ; receptacle convex. Sepals small, subvalvate or imbri- 
cated. Petals same in number, alternate, much longer, subunguicu- 
late, velvety, imbricate. Stamens inserted with petals double in 
number ; alternipetalous longer ; filaments subulate glabrous; anthers 
introrsely 2-rimose. Disk glandular within and above stamens ; lobes 
rather prominent between base of filaments. Gynzeceum inserted at 
summit of receptacle ; carpels 4, 5; germens free, dorsally produced 
in ovoid glands ; style inserted below apex of internal angle, after- 
wards coherent and contorted among themselves, not dilated stigma- 
tiferous at apex ; ovules in each germen 2, collaterally descending ; 
micropyle extorse superior, blocked by thick obturator. Fruit, cocci 
separating, subquadrate compressed truncate; endocarp solute de- 
hiscent; seeds . . .?—A much ramified very glabrous shrub largely 
glandular-punctuate ; leaves opposite petiolate, 3-foliolate ; folioles 
obtuse coriaceous crenate-serrate ; flowers’ in axillary cymes 3-cho- 
tomous pedunculate and bracteolate (Western Tasmania’). 
31. Crowea Sm.'—Flowers (nearly of Boronia) 5-merous or more 
rarely 4-merous;’ receptacle convex. Sepals free or connate at 
the base, imbricated, valvate or subvalvate, often incurved at apex

Nottii (Briostemon Nottii K, MuELL., Fragm., 
vi. 22), with calyx dentate, petals long narrowed 
at base, disk very small and germens all free 
5-7; styles inserted at middle of internal 
angle of germen, afterwards coalescing, at apex 
shortly infundibuliform-capitate. Petals out- 
wardly lepidote, as are also leaves, germens, 
styles, &e. Stirps of Crowea, connected some- 
what with Acradenia,
