SS MR. J. G. BAKER ON THE 
Fruit unknown.—Central Madagascar, Baron 2037! Allied to 
C. pimpinellifolia, Hook. Ic. t. 77, amore robust plant with much 
less compound leaves, known only in the fruiting stage (Lyall 
108). I feel satisfied that Tildebrandt’s 8062, referred by 
Hoffmann to C. grata, Wall., is quite distinct from the Indian 
species. 
WORMIA ARTOCARPIFOLIA, n. Sp. 
Arborea, ramulis glabris, foliis longe petiolatis late oblongis obtusis basi 
rotundatis obscure serrulatis utrinque viridibus facie glabris dorso obscure 
sericeis venis primariis rectis erecto-patentibus 9-10-jugis, floribus 6-8 in 
spicas densas scorpioideas pedunculo sericco dispositis, sepalis obovatis 
obtusis dorso sericeis, petalis obovatis, antheris linearibus filamento brevi 
applanato, carpellis circiter 10 angustis. 
A tree, with moderately stout woody terete branchlets. Pe- 
tiole about 3 in. long ; blade 6-9 in. long, 4—5 in. broad, rounded 
at both ends, thick and coriaceous in texture, green and quite 
glabrous on the upper surface when mature, obscurely silky 
mainly on the erecto-patent main veins beneath, the main veins 
connected by fine oblique distinct anastomosing veinlets. Flowers 
6-8, in a close terminal unilateral scorpioid spike, on a silky 
peduncle 1-2 in. long, seen in the bud-stage only. Sepals 3 in. 
long, much imbricated, rigidly coriaceous, very obtuse, silky on 
the back. Petals obovate. Stamens very numerous, uniform, as 
long as the petals, with long linear anthers and short free flattened 
filaments. Carpels about 10, seen only in a very young state.

latter, Baron 1596! 
TETRACERA PAUCIFLORA, 1. Sp. 
T. ramulis pilosis, foliis subsessilibus oblanceolato-oblongis obtusis inte- 
gris rigide coriaceis utrinque parce pilosis, floribus 1-3nis terminalibus, 
sepalis 4 late oblongis glabris, petalis oblongo-spathulatis calyei aqui- 
longis, fructu folliculari piloso. 
A woody climber, with slender branchlets, pilose towards the 
tip. Leaves alternate, with a short petiole winged down to the 
base, 2-3 in. long, #-1 in. broad above the middle, obscurely 
pilose on both surfaces, with 5-G-jugate ascending parallel main 
veins distinct nearly to the margin. Flowers terminal, shortly 
peduneled, solitary or capitate. Sepals 4, 1 in. long, 1 in. broad, 
much imbrieated, persistent, densely pilose inside, Petals not
