CALYCIFLORiE. 
6. Tetrazygia angustifolia. Narrow-leaved 
Tetrazygia. 
Branches terete with the petioles and under 
surface of the leaves most minutely stellato-pubes- 
cent, leaves lineari-lanceolate with the margin 
revolute very entire flavo-punctulated above 
3-neived with the lateral nerves close to the 
margin, cymes paniculato-corymbose terminal, 
limb of the sub-globose calyx 4-toothed. — DC. 
Melastoma angustifolia, Swartz, FI. lnd. Occ. 770. 
II A B. ? 
F. L. ? 
Leaves 1-2 inches in length, rugose and glabrous 
above, hoary beneath. Flowers pedicelled, crowded, 
small, lutescent. Petals subrotund. — Swartz. According 
to other Botanists, the petals are obovatc, and white with 
a rose-tinge. — DC. 
VIII. IIarrera. 
Calyx where it adheres to the ovary globu- 
lar : tube contracted and produced ; limb ex- 
panded, 5-rarely 4-toothed with the teeth insert- 
ed below the margin. Petals 5, rarely 4, round- 
ed. Stamens 8-10, declinate : anthers one- 
pored, sub-auriculated at the base. Ovary um- 
bilicated. Capsule berried, 3-G-celled : seeds 
wedge-shaped. 
I am unwilling to institute a new genus: but the plants 
comprehended under this head do not appear to me to be 
referable to any of those already established. From the 
fruit, with the calyx, resembling in shape the Spanish jar, 
so commonly used by us to keep water cool, I have de- 
rived the generic designation from the Spanish Jarrf.ro, 
which means a maker of Jars. I may add that in 
Spanish, / has a gutteral sound like that of H, strongly 
asperate^. 1 have therefore, in Latinizing the original 
word, substituted the latter, for the former letter.
