474 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 
apex. Fruit capsular, at base 2-5-locular ; cocci free at apex obtuse, 
produced in cornutus; endocarp solubile. —Stellate-tomentose or 
squamulose undershrubs ; leaves alternate simple coriaceous entire 
punctuate ; flowers’ solitary or cymose-subumbellate, axillary or sub- 
terminal (Australia). 
38. Pleurandropsis H. By.‘—Flowers hermaphrodite without 
sepals; receptacle short conical. Petals 5, shortly unguiculate, 
induplicate-valvate. Stamens 10-15, inserted with petals; fila- 
ments free filiform very unequal; anthers oblong introrse. Car- 
pels 5, free oppositipetalous ; germens connivent, outwardly densely 
stellate-hirsute closely contiguous (not connate); styles same in 
number more or less coherent at internal angle, at apex free re- 
flexed thick subclavate patent, interior densely tuberculate-papillose. 
Ovules in each germen 2, descending; one sometimes aborting; mi- 
cropyle extrorse superior. “Fruit cocci 5, tomentose” ?—A rigid 
densely stellate-tomentose or woolly shrub; leaves alternate simple 
obtuse or truncate rather thick; flowers‘ terminal or falsely axil- 
lary,’ solitary or very few together ; leaves of superior branches and 
bractlets very small few or sometimes 0, involucre of flowers and 
calyx taking their place (Awstralia'). 
39. Chorilæna Enpu.’—Flowers nearly of Boronia (or Philotheca) ; 
sepals 5, and petals same in number longer narrow-elongated. Sta- 
mens 10, much longer than perianth; filaments filiform, inwardly 
long enlarged with scales; anthers oblong introrse. Gynzceum 
(5-merous), fruit and other characters of Boronia (or Philotheca).— 
Shrubs with stellate long hispid hairs; leaves alternate petiolate 
sinuate-lobed ; flowers in pedunculate axillary cymes; central | or 
few subsessile ; exterior pedicellate; pedicels 2-bracteolate, dense, 
bractlets equal or longer than sepals (Western Australia’). 

1 Small, whitish; petals sometimes outwardly 5 Properly terminating the very short axillary 
stellate-pilose.
