. The natural history of plants. Botany. Pig. 277. Mower (f). Fig. 278. Long. sect, of base of flower. in each of its two cells there are two ascending ovules, with micropyle exterior and inferior. But the habit is very different, and the placenta, which bears one ovule on the right and another on the left, has between them an inconsiderable prominence dividing the cell into two halves only at the internal angle. The corolla is valvate like that of Morinda; the stamens enclosed are inserted at the throat, and the fruit is dry, tardily dehiscent, as said, in four valves. In nearly all the species, the gamosepalous calyx assumes a large development, and becomes foliaceous and membranous, reticulate- veined, except in C. glacialis, of which a genus Oreopolus has been made. They are herbaceous or subshrubby plants from the cold and etmperate regions of Chili ; the flowers are ki terminal cymes.
