Tribe II. Secamone^. 



Filaments of the stamens connate into a tube and adnate at top 

 to the dilated part of the style ; appendages of the anthers more or less 

 fimbriate. Pollen-contents of each anther-cell of two very minute dis- 

 tinct waxy masses sometimes combined into one. Pollen-carriers 

 minute, subquadrate, soft ; the pollen-masses attached to them in fours 

 or pairs. 



Corolla-lobes imbricate, usually glabrous or merely puberulous 



within : — 



Corolla-tube not lined by a toothed membrane ; corona thin :— 

 Corolla-lobes small, overlapping to right or left ; style-apex 

 short, rounded, obtuse ; pollen-masses in fours on a minute 

 carrier . . . . . . . . . . 9. Secamone. 



Corolla-lobes overlapping to left, usually rather large ; style- 

 apex elongate, conical or clavate ; pollen-masses in pairs 

 (or very obscurely only in fours) on a minute thick carrier . 10. Toxocarpus.

 short. Coro?ia-processes 5, adnate to the staminal-column, compressed. 

 Stamens inserted at the base of the corolla ; filaments connate at the 

 base only ; anther-tips ending in a small inflexed appendage, conni- 

 vent around the style-apex; pollen-masses very minute, globose or 

 slightly oblong, in pairs in each cell, attached in fours to the minute 

 pollen-carriers, without caudicles. Ovary of 2 carpels ; style columnar,
