corolla and ten hypogynous stamens with elon- 
gated filaments. The anthers have the peculiarity 
(though free in the early bud) of becoming embedded In 
specialized pits or pockets of the corolla as it expands, 
the filaments bending over and acquiring tension, and 
finally straightening elastically, withdrawing the anthers 
suddenly, and projecting the pollen to some distance over 
adjacent flowers. The plants are for the most part hand- 
some evergreen shrubs with shining leaves and showy 
flowers in corymbs. There are 6 species, one of which 
grows In the West Indies, and one extends to the Rocky 
Mountains and California, the remainder being confined 
to eastern North America. A*. latifMa. the American
