In this way Ricinocarpus is to Codiceum what Monotaxis is to Jatropha and Tournesolia. Berti/a^ Australian like Ricinocarpus, has the same organs of vegetation, embryo and central stamens indefinite in number, but the flowers are apetalous, and have as an envelope only a calyx often petaloid, surrounded by a calciform in- volucre. Bcycria, also Australian, with the same foliage and em- bryo, apetalous like Bertya, destitute of epicalyx like liicinocarpus, has a peculiar style whose summit dilates into a kind of conical sur- based cap crowning the ovary. In Alphandia, inhabiting New Cale- donia, the leaves arts wide and membranous and the cotyledons foliaceous. The flowers have, as in the preceding genera, a great analogy with those of Codiceum, but the calyx is gamosepalous, quin- quedentate, valvate in prsefloration, and may be unequally cut as in certain species of «'«Yes (Fv., BancouUer).
