stamens and style deciduous. The flowers have a beau- 

 tiful appearance, even on close inspection, from the pure 

 white of the corolla, the golden yellow of the anthers 

 and the crimson of the style. Dr. Alexander has sug- 

 gested the resemblance of this plant to tetrazygia 



ELGZAGINOIDES.

 rera. 



Branches compressed somewhat sulcated ferru- 

 gineo-tomentose, leaves scattered and crowded at 

 the ends oi the branches ovate sub-cordate denti- 

 culated 5-nerved glabrous above, ferrugineo-to-

FL. August. 



A shrub 10 feet in height: branches erect, compressed, 

 somewhat sulcated, ferrugineo tomentose. Leaves scat- 

 tered, rather crowded at the ends of the branches, ovate, 

 subcordate, acuminate, with the apex somewhat retuse, 

 and the margin revolute and minutely and distantly den- 

 ticulated, 5-nerved besides a ma<ginal pair, glabrous 

 above, hoary and ferrugineo-tomentose beneath : petiole 

 subtrigonal. Thyrse terminal : peduncle compressed, 

 subtetragonal, hoary and ferrugineo-tomentose: branches 

 decussatng, bearing three or more subsessile white flow- 

 ers. Calyx 8-10-agonal, in shape like a Spanish Jar : at 

 the l>ase globular: throat produced and contracted: limb 

 expanded, internally purple, marked in the centre with a 

 radiating disk, with the rays 4-5 of a pale colour, the an- 

 gles alternating with the divisions of the calyx : teeth 4-5, 

 short, subulate, inserted externally below the margin. 

 Petals 4, rarely 5. obovate, clawed, rounded at the apex. 

 Stamens 8, rarely 10, declinate : anthers auricu'ated at 

 the base, one-pored. Style declinate, curved : stigma 

 simple. Berry globose, 6-(?) celled.: seeds ovoidec- 

 re ni form. 



The mark on the ins : de of the calyx, resembles that 

 observable in heterotrichcm patens. I have met with 

 only one plant of this species. The arrangement of the
