Stamens 4, anth. [biloba] seeds many. Corrolla tubes remarkably short. Corolla bilabiate. Stamens didynamous. Corolla lobes contorted to left in [bed]! "I found this in Hygrophila. The difference (given in gen. Pl.) is that in Hygrophilla there are echnata while in Cardanthera the echnata are reduced to papillae. The great difference between the genera is that in Cardanthera, the seeds are without hygroscopic hairs. The seeds are not ripe enought for me here; but from the [minute] echinata, I [illegible] it is Cardanthera. C.B.Clarke 29 Oct. 1897." With K000393802. Illustration given. Purch'd 10/[18]89.
