PLANTS COLLECTED IN JAPAN. 319 



anther next the base on the lower or outer edge, which opens longitudinally for its whole 

 length. Ovary strongly gibbous on the side towards the axis, tipped with a short but distinct 

 style, which bears a large and terminal stigma. Ovule globular, affixed to the inner suture 

 near its summit, pendulous. A well-marked new genus, evidently allied to Chloranthus, from 

 which it is distinguished by the style, and especially by the stamens. The latter organs 

 naturally suggest the name, each flower bearing as it were three outstretched tails.
