*An important correction:* *In my first post the paragraph :* * “.. *the shape and morphology of its nutlets is very similar to that found in the genus *Nonea* yet it differs in having a polysepalous calyx while the calyx of the members of the genus *Nonea *Medik is invariably gamosepalous. The presence of a polysepalous calyx leaves us no option but to put it in a separate genus.”
*should be replaced by the following paragraph:* “..the shape and morphology of its nutlets is very similar to that found in the genus *Nonea* yet it differs in having a calyx in which the lobes are divided to the base while the calyx of the members of the genus *Nonea *Medik is invariably 5 fid shortly or ½ of its length but never divided to the base and the tube is enclosing the nutlets. The presence of a calyx with lobes divided to the base and hence no tube enclosing the nutlets leaves us with no option but to put it in a separate genus.” It is my endeavor to correct any inaccuracies that tend to creep into an informal write up. I request the members also to make me aware of any discrepancies between the photos that I post and my written statements.
