Tribus V. Guattehie^. 



Petala omnia conformia, baud unguiculata, plerumque plana, in

In tbis tribe, exceptij the two &st genera, which are anomalous, the petals are 

 quite flat, and generally eatliery or membranous in texture. In this respect they 

 diifer essentially from Anonece and Xyloj)iece, and approach Uvariete, from which 

 they are only distinguished by the valvate (not imbricate) Ecstivation of the petals. 

 In some of the genera the petals are only valvate in the very young bud, separating 

 from one another at an early period. The two first genera are in many respects in- 

 termediate between XylopieiB and Guatterieie, but as their petals are uniform in 

 shape, and the inner ones, though concave at the base, are not triquetrous above, we 

 refer them to the present tribe.
