Bud, without calyx. frutescent plants from the same countries,^ of which the type of a distinct family has been made having regular flowers, with poly- petalous corolla, contorted as in Balbisia, whose petals however are valvate instead of being imbricate, the gynseceum being, like that of Wendtta, reduced to three. Sometimes there are only two biovulate cells ; the fruit being a loculicidal capsule with two or three panels. The floral receptacle bears here, as in Geranium, some altemipetalous glands. 1 One species only, TF, gracilis Mey. loc. eit.â W. Fappigiana Kl. in Linneea x. 432.â W. Sey- noldsii Endl. mss.âWalp.
