with minute dark incurved cartilaginous points, pellucid-punc- 
tate, pale, slightly shining above, the midrib and principal veins 
prominent underneath, the former angled by the decurrent 
veins ; umbels loose, apparently by the premature falling away 
of most of the flowers; pedicels erect, articulated near the base, 
about 3 mm. long; calyx-tube scarcely 1 mm. long, the lobes 
3.5 mm. long, oblong, thickish, concave, minutely ciliolate ; 
filaments thickish, nearly 2 mm. long, the anthers short,
