Gen. Char. Flowers imperfectly separated, irregular; the 
outermost fertile. Calyx (see fig. 2.) superior, of 5 broad, acute, 
unequal, permanent teeth. Corolla (fig. 1.) of 5 more or less un- 
equal, inversely heart-shaped petals with a strongly indexed point, 
the lobes of each almost equal. Filaments awl-shaped, shorter than 
the corolla. Anthers roundish. Germrn (see fig. 2.) inferior, 
oblong, bristly. Floral Receptacle obsolete. Styles (see fig. 2.) 
awl-shaped, slightly spreading, much shorter than the corolla, 
tumid, and somewhat pyramidal at the base, permanent. Stigmas 
blunt, oblique, Fruit (see figs. 2 & 4.) elliptic-oblong, slightly 
laterally compressed, tumid. Carpels (see figs. 3 & 5.) with the 
5 primary ridges filiform, bristly, or with little ptickles; of these 
the 3 middle ones are dorsal, the 2 lateral on the inner face ; the 
4 secondary ridges more prominent, armed with prickles, in one 
or two rows. Channels ( mterstici s ) under the second ridges with 
single viltce (see fig. 5). Seed involute, or indexed at the edge. 
lnvolucium many-leaved. Flowers white or pink. 
The 5-toothed calyx; the slightly laterally compressed, beakless 
fruit ; the carpels with 5 primary bristly ridges, of which the 3 
middle ones are -dorsal, and the 2 lateral ones on the inner face (or 
plane of the commissure) ; and the secondary ridges with hooked 
prickles, and single viitae ; will distinguish this from other genera 
in the same class and otder.
