The only tftugibl© distinctiona between this genua and Jjopftojicfn^u-w appear 
to bo tlmt (I) in tliia there are no appendages of any kind on the petala, whereas 
in L^pkopetalum tliey are lamellate or crested (or both) on the anterior aurfaco j 
(2) the disc in this is cupular and the stamens are inserted either on its edge or on 
the inner verticnl snrfaco of its np-tarned edge; (3) the ovary is not buried in the 
disc, whereas in Lo2)hQpetatiim the disc is broadly orbiculnr and flat and the Bbameiis 
are inaerted (often in pita) half way between its centre and circnmference, the 
ovary being buried in tho disc. The aeeda, whioli used to be relied upon for diatioctive 
marks, are found, now that tho rJp^ fruit of Lophopatatum is better knoirn, to be 
winged in both, and the fruit in both to b« au elongated triquetrous or S-winged 
capsule. It seems donbtf ul wbether this geuus should be mtiintained an distinct
