Th bi char Mell lh of ‘etal perfectly separated and 
of anthers continuously completely bent downward, demand for 
this vaccini plant a distinct generic position; the first of

more particularly so as the latter produces likewise only fo 
petals, which, moreover, oO to those of 
extrorsely retroflected prior to the expansion of the flowers, the 
introflection taking place during anthesis; nevertheless, the unique 
haracteristic of arena nary introrse refraction of the anthers 
separates this now established genus from all others of the order, 
and brings the above-mentioned tribal groups i ew and
