succa, ovata, serrata, staminibus breviora, 
decidua. Stamina fertilia petalis longiora, 
sterilia breviora, subulata, apice glandu- 
losa. Anthere uniloculares, apice tantum 
polliniferz, et illic bivalves; valvulis basi 
truncatis, in glandulas 2, diaphanas, albas, 
connectivi specie junctas prementibus. 
The genus must be placed next Verti- 
cordia, from which it differs, if Verticordia 
Fontanesi: is taken as the type of that ge- 
nus, in several important circumstances. 
Chrysorhóe has its stamens quite dis- 
tinct to their very base, the fertile are 
much longer than the sterile ones, and the 
anthers have the peculiar structure above 
described ; in Verticordia, on the contrary, 
the stamens are completely monadelphous, 
the fertile are shorter than the sterile ones, 
and the anthers open by two oblique late- 
ral clefts in the face of a fleshy spherical 
connective, altogether destitute of the two 
conspicuous pellucid glands of Chrysorhée. 
he pistil exhibits other well-marked 
distinctions. In Chrysorhóe the ovary is 
absolutely one-celled, without a trace of a 
issepiment, and one pair of ovules rises 
from one side of the base of the cavity; 
the style is beardless. In Verticordia the 
ovary has two chords (diverging from the 
base of the style, and passing down t 
the origin of the ovules), which indicate 
the existence of two carpels in combina- 
tion; two pairs of ovules rise from op- 
posite sides of the base of the cavity; the 
style protrudes beyond the flower, and is 
bearded.
