 South Africa, Ohili^) 



32? Mooria Monteotiz.' — Flowers nearly of Metrosideros, 5- 

 merous ; sepals slightly imbricate. Petals 5, scarcely longer, imbri- 

 cate. Stamens co , generally subequal to petals free ; anthers 

 versatile. Germen partly sometimes almost entirely free, 3-locular. 

 Ovules in cells oo , oftener few, inserted on placenta obliquely 

 ascending from internal angle, ascending. Capsule more or less 

 adnate to receptacle, loculicidal. Seeds sometimes attenuate or alate ; 

 cotyledons of exalbuminous embryo longer than radicle, oblong. — 

 Shrubs or small trees, more frequently much branched ; leaves oppo- 

 site penninerved, glabrous or tomentose; flowers^ solitary or oftener 

 more or less compoundly cymose, terminal or axillary at apex ; 

 other characters of MetrosiderosJ {New Caledonia.^) 



33 ? Arillastrum Panch." — Flowers nearly of Metrosideros (or 

 Tristania), 4-merous; receptacle concave subcampanulate. Sepals 

 decussately imbricate. Petals imbricate, finally patent, subcoriaceous, 

 externally ferruginous puberulous. Stamens oo , in 4 oppositipeta- 

 lous groups ; the exterior sterile ; anthers of fertile ones oblong 

 introrse. Germen inferior, internally adnate to receptacle, 2-locular ; 

 placentae rather prominent, 2-lobed, oo -ovulate. Fruit capsular, ad- 

 nate within to thick woody subcampanulate receptacle, crowned with 

 4 thick or broad cuneate teeth (sepals), opening loculicidally at apex 

 and finally incompletely 2-valvate. Seeds oo , of which 1 generally
