Obs. The stamens of this plant are not united at the base in a ring 

 as represented by Cavanilles, but are exserted from the summit of 

 the cup ( urceolus ) formed by the united folioles of the calyx, and 

 which surrounds the ovarium but is not attached to it. The stigmas 

 are two as Professor de Candolle justly observes and not three as fi- 

 gured by Cavanilles. They are persistent and crown the thin and 

 membranous capsule, which is indehiscent or rather which dehis- 

 ces partially at the base. A single ovule is suspended from the curved 

 funicule originating at the base of the capsule. The seed is oval, en- 

 larged below, and pointed at the summit. The hilum and chalaza 

 are contiguous, the embryo campylotropous, and exterior, enclosing 

 a proportionally long farinaceous perisperm. By this disposition 

 of the embryo the radicule forms a boss protruded within the tegu- 

 ment which at first sight might be taken for a raphe.

H. caule fruticoso, prostrato, elongalo, diffnso ; panicults filiformibus
