quill; axils shaggily furred with long whitish curled hairs 
surrounding the stem at that place, as well as at the base of 
the branches of the panicle. Panicle terminal, brachiate: 
partial peduncles horizontal, opposite, smooth, dichoto- 
mously subdivided: branchlets repeatedly subdivided: end- 
pedicles capillary: leaflets at the base of the partial pe- 
duncles petioled, cordately lanceolate at the base of the 
branchlets, subulate.. Calyx smooth: segments lanceolate. 
Corolla an inch long; tube filiform, many times longer 
than the calyx; segments of the limb oblong. 
It is observed by Sir James Smith, that “ there is a 
“‘ oreat resemblance in the general habit and several promi- 
“nent characters between the species of this genus and 
«< those of VoLKaMeERIA. That it differs from the latter in 
« having a simple, not a bifid stigma, and one-seeded, not 
< two-seeded stones or pyrenes. That the number of ker- 
“nels or seeds is, however, in both genera exactly the 
© same.”
