deserves notice that in the homostyled genera, as I 

 am informed by Professor Asa Gray, the stamens are 

 either exserted or are included within the tube of the 

 corolla, in a nearly constant manner ; so that this

 heterostyled species, is often of generic value in other 

 members of the family.
