3. T. recurva (styles recurved), Hook.f. FI. Tasrn. i. 146 ; Bentli. FI. Austr. 
ii. 452. A slender plant, densely tufted and 1 or 2in. high in sandy places, 
lengthening out to 1ft. in water. Leaves linear or linear-lanceolate, Jin. long or 
more in the longer specimens, 1 to 2 lines in the smaller ones. Flowers few, 
small, solitary, on peduncles rarely exceeding the leaves. Sepals about f line 
long, acuminate. Petals about as long. Carpels acuminate with the recurved 
styles, with a small cuneate or linear-spathulate scale under each, sometimes half 
as long as the carpel. Fruit-carpels about as long as the calyx, with 2 or 3 seeds 
in each. — T. verticillaris, Hook. Ic. PI. t. 295, not of DC.; T. intricata, Nees. in

2. *BRYOPHYLLUM, Salisb. 
(Referring to its habit of forming young plants at the notches 
of the leaves.) 
Calyx inflated, cylindrical or tetragonous, shortly 4-fid, valyate ; corolla 
urceolate or subcampanulate, the limb shortly 4-fid, spreading. Stamens 8, in 2 
rows, inserted in the middle of the corolla-tube ; filaments filiform ; anthers 
oblong, shortly exserted. Scales free or adnate to the carpels. Carpels 4, free or 
connate at the base, elongate, narrowed into elongated, connivent, exserted styles, 
with capitellate stigmas ; ovules in each carpel numerous. Follicles 4, many- 
seeded. — Tall, stout, fleshy herbs, shrubby at the base. Leaves opposite, 
petiolate, simple, or unequally pinnate, crenate. Flowers rather large, nodding, 
in many-flowered paniculate cymes, greenish-white or red ; branches of the 
panicle opposite. — Bentli. and Hook. Gen. PI. i. 658. 
A genus of about 4 species, the one naturalised in Queensland common throughout the tropics 
of the world. 
1. B. calycinum (referring to the prominent calyx), Salisb. A short or tall 
shrub, on the tropical coast sands often attaining 8ft., branching from the base, 
glabrous throughout, often spotted with dark-purple, and more or less 4-angled. 
Leaves fleshy, crenate, ovate-orbicular or unequally pinnate, with ovate segments ; 
the terminal one large, often very large on the tropical plants. Flowers 1J to 2in. 
long, pendulous. Calyx inflated, 1 to ljin. long, green, striped with purple at 
the base. Corolla-tube green below, bright reddish-purple in the exserted portion, 
globose-octagonous at the base, abruptly constricted immediately above, then 
produced into an elongated 4-angled ventricose tube; limb 4-fid, segments 
abruptly acuminate, very acute, spreading. Stamens slightly exceeding the 
corolla-tube. Styles equalling the stamens, erect, filiform. Stigmas sparingly 
papillose. Squamulae truncate, short, nearly as broad as long, free, or very 
slightly adhering to the carpels. — Britten, in Oliver FI. Trop. Afri.; Bot. Mag. 
t. 1400. 
Hab.: An African plant naturalised in many parts of Queensland. Not indigenous as stated 
by Baron Mueller in Viet. Nat. Nov. 1884. 
Order XLYII. DROSERACE®. 
Calyx free or very shortly adnate to the broad base of the ovary, divided to the 
base or nearly so, into 4 or 5 or rarely 8 segments or sepals. Petals as many as 
calyx-segments, hypogynous or slightly perigynous. Stamens as many as petals, 
or rarely, in genera not Australian, twice as many or more, and inserted with 
them. Ovary either 6-celled, with 2 to 5 parietal placentas or 1 basal placenta, 
or 2 or 3-celled, with several ovules to each placenta or cell ; styles either as many
