The Echinopteris, Brazilian shrubs, have no calycine glands, their anthers are inappendiculate and the styles termiQal. The three carpels are free in the ovary, and become achgenes traversed on their dorsal line only by longitudinal ridges. The Heladena^ shrubs with slender branches, from Southern Brazil, whose sepals bear stipitate glands, are very analogous to the pre- ceding genera; but, the three carpels being united below in a uni- locular ovary, and becoming free only in the style, they form a transition from the Clonodia and the Echinopteris to the Galphimia. The Galphimia (fig. 429-435), of which some pretty species may be seen in our gardens, have regular, hermaphrodite, and pen- Galphimia Fig. 433.
