five large nearly equal alternating petals, also imbricate in the bud. 
The stamens, ten in number, have their filaments inflexed in the bud; 
and hence the anthers are contained in the concavity of the recep- 
tacle. The ovary is central and multiovulate, surmounted by a style, 
which is at first involute and is dilated above into a peltate stigma. 
Thus, the flowers of this plant in all respects resemble those of Zhy- 
lacanthus ferrugineus ; but the peculiar character of Dicymée lies in the 
lateral bractlets enveloping the flower, each forming a hollow 
coriaceous hemisphere, so that when applied to one another by their 
thick edges they form a regular globular box. This sac is not nearly 
so thick in 7. ferrugineus, whose calyx is always pentamerous, whose 
petals have far narrower bases, and whose ovules are less numerous. 
For these reasons we make Dicymée a simple section of the genus 
Thylacanthus, with: the specific name of 7. corymbosa. 
Campsiandra, with the general characters of the preceding genera, 
and especially of Melanozylon, presents an androceum of more than 
Campsiandra comosa.

ten stamens; it has from fifteen to twenty, whose long filaments are 
reflexed in the bud, but are later much exserted ; their anthers are
