nuts. Seeds with a very thin (or without any ?) albumen, the cotyledons not 
folded. — Hispid herbs. Leaves toothed or lobed. Flowers small, solitary in the 
axils, the upper ones often forming one-sided leafy spikes. 
The Au-tralian species is a common one in tropical Asia and Africa. 
1. C. procumbens (procumbent), l.inn.; DC. Prod. ix. 558; Bmth. PI. 
Axstr. iv. 391. A hard, prostrate, hirsute annual, the branches radiating from 
the crown of the root to a considerable length, but not rooting. Leaves petiolate, 
obovate or oblong, much undulate, wrinkled and crenate or obtusely lobed, the 
largest ones scarcely exceeding'lin.. the floral ones usually very small. Flowers 
nearly sessile in their axils, often forming leafy spikes on the branchlets, usually 
4-merous, at least in the Australian specimens. Calyx-segments herbaceous, 
ovate-lanceolate, not 1 line long. Corolla scarcely exceeding the calyx, the lobes 
broad, shorter than the tube, glabrous inside. Style bifid. Fruit depressed- 
globular, glandular-hispid, about 1 line long, more or less distinctly 4-lobed and 
often with prominent ribs between the lobes . — Lobophyllum tetrandrum, F. v. M. 
in Hook. Kew Journ. ix. 21 ; G;ertn. Fruct. i. 329 t. 68.

The species is common in a great part of tropical Asia and Africa. 
4. HALGANIA, Gaudich. 
(After Admiral Halgan.) 
Calyx deeply divided into 5 segments. Corolla with a very short tube, rotate 
with 5 broad lobes in the bud. Stamens 5, inserted in the throat, the filaments 
very short and flat ; anthers erect, connate in a short cylinder contracted into 
a long straight beak, formed of the linear terminal appendages of the anthers, 
enclosing the style. Ovary entire, 4-celled, with 1 pendulous ovule in each 
cell ; style terminal, filiform, with a minute stigma. Fruit dry or the exocarp 
very slightly succulent, separating into 2 carpels, each with a crustaceous 2-celled 
endocarp. Seeds 1 in each cell, more or less albuminous ; embryo terete, 
straight. — Undershrubs or small much-branched shrubs, rarely entirely herbaceous, 
more or less tomentose or hirsute, or rarely glabrous. Leaves entire or toothed. 
Flowers blue purple or white, often rather large and showy, in terminal or at 
length lateral cymes, sometimes reduced to short simple spikes or almost to 
single flowers. Bracts few or none. 
The genus is limited to Australia. 
1. H . strigosa (strigose), Schlecht. T Ann tea, xx. 614 ; Benth. PL Austr. 
iv. 402. An erect branching shrub, the stems and foliage scabrous with 
a minute glandular tomentum, and more or less sprinkled or covered with 
short rigid appressed hairs. Leaves narrow-oblong or linear-cuneate, mostly 
8-toothed at the end, and sometimes with 1 or 2 small teeth on each side 
lower down, the midrib very prominent underneath, otherwise flat, complicate 
or the margins very slightly recurved, rarely above ^i n - long except in some 
very luxuriant specimens. Flowers small, calyx-segments acute. Corollas deep- 
blue, the lobes often acute or shortly acuminate but sometimes quite obtuse. 
Fruit transversely rugose and rather acute. — H. tuberculosa , Schlecht. Linnaea,

5. TOURNEFORTIA, Linn. 
(After Joseph Pitton de Tournefort.) 
Calyx deeply divided into 5 segments. Corolla-tube cylindrical ; lobes 5, 
spreading, imbricate or induplicate in the bud. Stamens inserted in the tube ; 
anthers included. Ovary entire, 4-celled, with 1 pendulous ovule in each cell ;
