64 NEW SOMALI-LAND PLANTS. 
The affinity of this singular plant is doubtless with the Abyssinian 
Satanocrater Schweinf. The short lobes of its transversely-nerved 
angular calyx seem at once to indicate its probable position in the 
order; but the calyx is not ventricose, and the lobes are easily 
separable, e.g. when placed in boiling water. The corolla with its 
narrow tube and deeply divided limb, and the exserted stamens and 
a are quite different from thos e of Schweinfurth’s genus. More- 
r, the pairs of filaments of Bicsacde are stated in the Genera 
Blatieun ' be epsti oximate merely; and, if this account be correct, 
e pairs for half their length which one finds in the 
case of Ficeasaetian 3 is another distinguishing feature. I have not, 
however, been able to examine a flower of Satanoer ater, owing to the 
small amount of material in the ae. and it is quite possible to 
conceive Mr. Bentham’s statement as implying union of the pairs 
of filaments. The pollen is exactly like that of the older genus as 
figured by Lindau (Bot. Jahrb. Bd. xviii. p. 40), except for the figure 
in question showing three pores, which seems to imply that they 
are equatorial, whereas I could never see more than one pore at a 
time.
