140 SIR DIETRICH BRANDIS—AN ENUMERATION 
entier. This, however, I have also found in S. canaliculatus, 
Thw., and it will doubtless be found in other species of the genus. 
Another character, upon which Heim relies, is the abundant 
albumen in the ripe seed. As previously explained, this cannot 
be accepted as a generic character in the order. Sunapteopsis, 
Heim distinguishes by its long leaves with curved acumen, and 
by the large unequal segments of the fruiting-calyx, not reflexed, 
but spreading and lengthened out into long, obovate, acuminate 
wings. This description seems to refer to another plant altogether. 
—Vateria jucunda, Thw., is certainly a Stemonoporus.
