Very few of tho Bpecimena which I h»v6 seen of thii have fruit, and of tbeso 
not ODQ has a seed. When tho niatorial has been fully completed by the receipt of 
eeeds, I think a naw genua might with advautage bo formed for this plant ; for it 
diSerB froui tho other Hpecies of Parinanum here described in having a cushion- 
like procesB in its calji-tabe the other parts of which ure linyd by the tube formed 
by the lower part of the dilated fllamenta. It also has a small l-eellod fruit with a 
thin leathery pericarp.
