llie gnrtlcn from Surinam, by Sir C. Younge. It therefore 
appears, tliat the Malayan C. bacillus requires some further 
examination, as it will probably be found to constitute an 
additional aud unsuspected member of the genus Catharto- 
carpus. 
We are not aware of the claim which Willdenow's 
name, Bactyrilobium, has to be retained for this genus, in 
preference to that of Cathartocarpus; which seems to have 
been published four years previously. 
A shrub twelve feet high, quite smooth. Leaves alter- 
nate, (Stalked, of two pairs. Leaflets oblique on their inner 
edge, smooth on both sides ; the lower perfectly ovate, the 
upper more elongated. Gland conical, obtuse, betweeit 
the lower leaflets. Stipules very small, subulate, deciduous. 
Racemes axillary, solitary, few-flowered, erect. Pedicels 
hanging down, angular. Flowers orange, middle-sized. 
Pod exactly that of C. fistula, so that it cannot be distin- 
guished ; somewhat curved, cylindrical, very smooth, ter- 
minated by a filiform poittt ; more tban a foot long, inter-* 
tepXi^A itiside by partitions, vrhich are not visible externally.
