of which are ovate, and imbricated at the base in a twisted 
manner. The stamens are inserted in a single row at 
the base of the ovarium; in number they are 12, not 
connected at the bottom, shorter than the tube of the 
corolla, with rigid, filiform filaments, forked at the apex, 
each fork bearing a single, subulate, perfect anther. The 
ovarium 1s imperfect, roundish, and silky.
