a 
Hypropnyiium, Puacenra, and Exuisra, ranked by Jus- 
sieu in the Boraginew, are proposed by Mr. Brown as the 
foundation of a separate order, by the name above quoted. 
They are distinguishable from their former co-ordinates, by 
a capsular fruit, a copious cartilaginous albumen, and a 
compound or else deeply lobed foliage. 
The present species grows on wet rocks and shady
