CHARACTER OF THE GENUS, GOLDFUSSIA. CaLyx five-cleft, 
nearly equal. Coroxxa funnel-shaped, the limb cut into five nearly 
equal blunt divisions. Stamens four, didynamous, included in the 
corolla, the smaller ones often very short, and bent downwards. 
ANTHERS nodding, the cells oval, tht brencite, obliquely inserted on 
a hooked connectivum. Cetus of the ovary containing two ovules 
E 
each. 
branch linear, somewhat flattened, with a lateral stigma. Capsune 
six-angled, two-valved, the valves separable from the dissepiment, 
each cell having near the base two disk-shaped seeds attached under 
the retinacula. 
DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIES, Gouprussis GLOMERATA. STEM 
shrubby at the base, much branched. Branecues herbaceous, irregu- 
larly divaricate, knotty, bearing, especially in the upper part, many 
stiff spreading hairs. Leaves opposite, stalked, those of each pair 
very unequal in size, the larger ones three to six inches long, ovate, 
ending in a long point, irregularly toothed on the margin, more or 
less contracted at the base, rough with long stiff hairs on the upper 
side, pale and nearly smooth underneath, the opposite one of each 
pair usually less than half the size, and broader in proportion. Heaps
