* Tovaria pendula, Ruiz & Pav., has the ovary completely 6-7-celled, as characterized 

 by Hooker (Icones Plantarum, t. 664); but the ovules instead of being inserted over 

 the whole face of the dissepiments, as he figures and describes them, are rather borne on 

 thick, spongy placentae, which project from the axis into the cells.
