4 ADDITIONS. 



The flowers of this plant in Sir Joseph Banks's collection, are in too imperfect 

 a state for description. It appears, however, as was to be expected from analogy 

 of congeners, that the petals are five, and the stamina numerous. It belongs then, 

 as most of the plants of the same natural order do, to the class and order Poly- 

 andria Monogynia. The essential generic character is : — Calyx, one-leaved, per- 

 manent ; enlarged into a gibbous cup, with five ligulate, long, scariose wings. 

 Corol. five-petalled. Capsule, three- valved, one-celled. Seed solitary. Embryo 

 inverse, without perisperm.
