Lon^. antero-posterior sect, of flower without the corolla. this, a separate genus has been made under the name of Platytheca^^ which may be studied as the type, as it has regular pentamerous flowers with two verticels to the androceum. The receptacle is convex; the sepals free and valvate; the petals alternate valvate- induplicate. Of the ten hypogynous free stamens, five are super- posed to the sepals, and five more exterior and smaller to the petals. ^ HuEG. Par. Vindob. fasc. 14, t. 73 (ex Walp.
