MB. Q. BENTHAM ON TEENSTECEMIACE.E. 61 



must be enumerated amongst Calyciflorm of doubtful affinity, until 

 more complete specimens shall have been obtained. Of the three 

 supposed new genera of TernstroemiacecB recently published by 

 Turczaninow, Tristylium is a Cleyera with the styles more deeply 

 divided than usual, and Kowalewshia is a common Mexican Cle- 

 thra. Hypopogon is unknown to me ; but the character given can 

 scarcely be reconciled with that of Termtrcemiaceas, and it must 

 remain among the genera insufficiently known until it shall have 

 been again examined, more especially as it is published in the 

 same paper where a Fagus is given as a new genus of Sapindacece, 

 a common Glycosmis as a new Marignia, &c.
