The fruit is a loculicidal capsule. Lopezia ^ (fig. 447-452) has flowers much more irregular. They might be defined as monandrous Diplandra,* or at least with only one fertile stamen. The superior calyx is generally formed of four valvate sepals, and the corolla of four alternate dissimilar petals.' The posterior stamen is the fertile one; its anther is bilocular, introrse.^ The anterior is transformed into a petal. The inferior ovary has four oppositipetalous and multiovulate cells.
