The flowers, collected in small ter- minal cymes, are tetramerous, with a campanulate receptacle, and 4 contorted ciliate sepals, 4 alternate petals inversely contorted, and 8 nearly equal stamens, all formed of an incurved filament and an elongate flattened anther, held by its porricide summit in a cavity between the re- ceptacle and the ovary. The latter, adhering thus for about half its height to the internal coat of the receptacular sac, is 4-celled and becomes a capsular fruit. Oxyspora, the name of which has been given to a sub-series {Oxysporece), has flowers united in terminal, compound, ramified clusters of cymes. They are tetramerous, with pointed and contorted petals, eight stamens, four of which smaller and alternipetalous may wanting, whose anthers often have three very small basilar Eousseaiixia chrysophylla (fig. constitutes a small sub-series Mousseauxia Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Baillon, Henri Ernest, 1827-1895; Hartog, Marcus Manuel, 1851-.
