7. CONKADIA, Mart. 



Calyr-limb 5-partite : tube turbinate or oampanulate, often 10-coatate. Corolla 2-lipped : 

 tube campanulate or clavate-cylindrical. Stamens inserted near the base of the corolla, 

 shorter than the corolla: anther-cells ovoid-roundish. Ovary inferior. Capsule wholly 

 inferior, opening by pores at the truncate summit. — Downy or gkbrescent half-shrubs, rarely 

 herbs or shrubs; leaves scattered, often rugose: veins arched-costate ; corymbs/ew-1- 

 flowered, axillary, peduncled, or subsessile. 



Ojphianthe, Hanst., I regard as a congener, as it is only distinguished by the tubular 

 coroUa : the costate calyx-tube exists in 0. libanensis, and the difference in the growth of the 

 epigynic glands presents a gradual passage. 



* Corolla-tube cam^armlate : limb large, expanded.
