Schlocliter (Engler Bot. J:ibrb. xl. 43) proposed tlie genus for a New 

 Caledonian ])lant differing from Jiandia only in the long hard woorlj fruits, 

 Thi^ plant (yL hvactealus Scblecbter) bo describes as haviiig, compared with 

 the present plant, smaller narrowly oblong shortly acuminate rigidlj 

 coriaceous leaves, smaller bracts (floral leaves), dentiform calyx lobes, a 

 longer ovary at time of flowering and a smaller fruit. Randla Brandzeana 

 Baill. (Adansonin, xii. 244) Avould ap])ear to bo a congener, and Guillaumin 

 (Not. System, ii. 195) suggests that two species referred by Baillon (in 

 MS. only) to Godpa belong to this genus.

 ^vithout fruit, there seems no room for doubt concerning the genus to which 

 this very distinct plant belongs.
