388 CAMPANULACE^. 



thrice as long as the ediyx-lohea, glabrous, arcuate above the middle ; filaments ciliate at 

 the base : anthers all densely bearded at the summit, connectives slightly hairy. — Seless. 

 le. 5. t. 11. Bot. Mag. t. 3012. — Lobelia, Lam. L. Kraussii, Grah. — Leaves 8"-4" long, 

 li"-l" broad, floral gradually decrescent ; pedicels 3"-l" long ; corolla 15"'-18"' long, 

 crimson. — Has. Dominica !, Imr., in the high mountains ; [Gnadelonpe ! ; Guatemala !]. 



The number of West-India Tapee, though several were to be redaced, is not yet exhausted : 

 there is a broad-leaved St. Vincent species, related to T. flavescens, but not in a state fit 

 for publication : this must be compared with T. stricta of Guadeloupe, which, as weU as T, 

 sonchifolia (Lobelia, /Sw.) is unknown to me. 



5. lOSOTOMA, n. Br. 



Corolla salver-shaped : tube long-filiform, limb slightly unequal. Stamens inserted into 

 the corolla-tnbe. Two or all anthers bearded at the top. Cofpmle 2-celled. — Herbs ; flowers 

 axillary or racemose. 



16. I. longiflora, PH. Perennial, pubescent; stem flaccid, leafy; leaves lanceolate- 

 oblong, sinuate-dentate, tapering at the snbsessile base ; pedicels short, axillary ; calyx-lobes 

 lanceolate, serrulate ; coroUa-tube nearly as long as the leaf: lobes lanceolate, much shorter; 

 all anthers shortly bearded. — SI. 1. 101. /. 2. Plum. Ed. Burm. t. 253. Jacq^. Amer. Pict.

 places ; Antigua I, Nichols., Dominica !, Imr. ; [Cuba I to French islands !]. 



XCVII. GOODENOVIE^. 



Character of Loheliacea, but odd calyx-lobe next -the axis, corolla-lobes induplicative, 

 stigma indusiate, and sap not mUlcy. 



1. SCiEVOLA, L. 



Corolla 1-lipped, cleft on the superior side. Anthers distinct. Indtmum of the stigma 

 bearded. P«n'c«rp drupaceous : cells 1-seeded. — Y\oyitr& mostly in axillary cymes ; corolla 

 villous uiithin ; lobes winged, often fimbriate.

XCVIII. CAMPANULA CE^. 



(Sphenocleaceae.) 



Stamens usually free from the sympetalous corolla : anthers dehiscent in the still closed 

 flower. Ovary inferior, syncarpous : ovules usually oo ; stigmas mostly furnished with col- 

 lecting hairs. Embryo straight, included in albumen. — Leaves alternate, exsti]>iilate. 



1. PONGATIUM, Sheede. 



Calyx Ijroadly sessile : lobes rounded, inflexed. Corolla 5-partite, imbricative. Anthers 

 epipelalous, sessile, didymous. Style short : stigma emarginate-eapitate, devoid of collecting 

 hairs. Capsule 2-celled, circumscissile : cells many-seeded. — A glabrous annual; flowers 

 small, white, in compact, peduncled spikes. 



The connection of this anomalous genus with Campanulacea, though disagreeing in most 

 typical characters of the Order, is evident from the early dehiscent anthers and the similar 

 capsules and seeds : in habit and inflorescence it may be compared with Phyteuma.
