The position of this genus is in the neighbourhood of Isoglossa. 
It appears to come nearest Populina Baill., known to me only 
description. But this has racemose inflorescences, a differently 
shaped corolla, style obtuse at the apex, and an orbicular bract 
subtending every anit of flowers. Moreover, the pollen, as figured 
by Lindau (Bot. Jahrb + xvii. t ii. £. 9 92), 3 is sane different: 
806), who, ‘ea ang had no opportunity o of examining a : flower. 
Mr. Clarke has recorded his belief, after examination of a bud, that 
the estivation is imbricate, a statement there seems no reason to 
study, is of the kind called ‘‘ Girtelpollen,” the pollen characteristic 
of Isoglossa and neighbouring genera. It is to this part of the order, 
therefore, that Camarotea must be — rred.
