 5805, sed differt a nostra: calyce haud 5-partito, lobis margine glan- 

 dulosis, aestivatione convolutiva (qui in nostris cupuliformis 5-fidus, 

 laciniis vix repandis, in praefloratione imbricatis), glandulis etiam 

 in floribus o praesentibus, in 2 acutis nec subtruncatis , germine 

 3-loculato , stylis filiformibus nec brevibus , intus sulcatis crassis; 

 fructu 3-cocco, nec dilabeato ; staminibusque monadelphis nec liberis, 

 antheris introrsis nec extrorsis ; respectu floris Anclae Piso Msn. 1. c. 

 Endl. Gen. 5801 accedit hocce, Adenorhopium Pohl nullo jure huic 

 generi adjunctum sed potius distinguendum ! signa supra laudata 

 sufiicienter hoc genus a Jatropha Endl. distinguunt.
