neous membranes very narrow purple bidentate, ° often 
separating down the middle, when the filaments assume 
the appearance of so many distinct winged ones with a 
tooth on each side, like those in most of the OrnrrHoGaLUMS 
and Auiiums, instead of forming a continuous coronary 
web as in Pancrarium; filaments (or those parts of them 
which are extended beyond the web) subulate, green, con- 
verging, twice shorter than the crown: anthers oblong,. 
versatile, twice shorter than the filaments (that is than the 
part of them beyond the web), tawnyish yellow. Style 
compressedly filiform, greenish, equal to the corolla: stigma 
simple; germen nearly globular, one-celled, not much above 
twice the size of a seed of Mustard. 
In November last the plant of CaLostemma luteum, 
which afforded the figure of the preceding article, produced 
another flowering stem at Mr. Griffin’s; the former remain- 
ing perfect, though the fruit had opened, and the seeds 
were germinating at its foot. We observed that the flowers 
possessed a strong pungent smell, that reminded us of 
Penny-Royal (Mentaa Pulegium). The interstamineous 
sinuses should have been termed obsoletely bidentate, rather 
than edentate, as we have called them in the description 
given in the article of that species.
